Images of Black Women Festival Highlights ‘Diversity in the Diaspora’

Participants of the 8^th Anniversary Images of Black Women Film Festival, in London from April 13^th to 15^th, will be taken from Canada to Zimbabwe (via Gaudeloupe) on screen, as the film festival focuses this year illustrating diversity of films about/by black women across the diaspora.
In addition to film screenings, other events consider the positioning of figure of the black woman (In a year of performances by Viola Davis and Octavia Spencer, where does the Black Actress go next?), sustaining the festival’s charter to “celebrate and promote women of African Descent in cinema.”
An American double bill kicks off the festival – Jessie Owens by Laurens Grant and Yelling at the Sky by Victoria Mahoney – followed by Saturday’s Caribbean Mix and Sunday’s Double Bill by African Women Filmmakers. The program is available here.
