For all those interested in African Diaspora films, there is a great film festival being held from Nov. 28-Dec. 14, 2008 in New York. The film festival has been in existence for 13 years. There are over 100 films from the African Diaspora (America, Caribbean, African etc.) including the recently viewed film "A Good to Be Black and Sexy," which will be shown on Nov. 29 at 9:50pm. You can obtain the schedule of films and further information by going to the website www.nyadff.org. ”
