Hello, Julie. Congratulations on your journal. I am unclear from your
message whether the upcoming special issue of Border/Lines will use
material ONLY on Black Canadian films and films shown at the Toronto
Festival OR if you also want materials on African films in general.
Thank you for your clarification.
Cordially.
Suzanne MacRae
