I though all might be interested in the following announcement I just got
from Isaac Mabhikwa in Harare. I'm hoping to go myself. It sound like a
good festival. It is the second SAFF.

The next SAFF will be held in Harare from Friday 20th to 27th September
1996. The following is the intended programme:

COMPETITION: This section is for films from East and Southern Africa only.

producers and television buyers with the aim of improving programme quality
for public television. This workshop will be held for three days from Monday

16th to Wednesday 18th, September 1996, with an allowance of a day in
between so that we can move over to the beginning of the main festival
programme.

WORKSHOPS: Our festival is developmental by design, we hope to hold
discussions on how best we can move ahead with the development of an African

cinema that can be self-sustaining and commercial. We would like to reflect
on the resolutions and communiques of the past and see if they have been
followed.
