Several film festivals have come across our desks this week many of which we deem mentionable.

Planning to begin 2007 with a new name, the Women of Color Arts & Film Festival (WOCAFF) announced its call for submissions to the third annual film festival scheduled for March 22 through 25, 2007. Expanding the festival to include a musical component, WOCAFF will also be accepting musical selections.

Having just wrapped up on November 11, The International Film Festival of Zambia in Lusaka was the first of its kind in the country’s history. Organized to celebrate Zambia’s culture with productions completed within the past ten years, The International Film Festival of Zambia offered a diverse selection of compelling films that provided an impressive catalog to add to the canon. This year's theme was "Time, Talent, and Teamwork" (from a report at www.africancolours.net).
