I know we talk a lot about movies, but hey we’re a movie town. Give us a wall and we’ll show a movie on it. So I had to get a couple words in for the African Film Festival, which runs until March 1.

These are not movies you’re likely to see other places. I’ve missed the last couple of years but this year made a point of it. A friend and I went the second night to see a film from Senegal called Guelwaar. Great movie. (Way better than that overblown bit of nonsense Atonement, which I saw the night before!)

It’s like a free two-hour trip to Africa. And maybe, like me, you’ll eat at the Eritrean restaurant across from the college (I can’t remember the name), and run into Keith. If you do, buy him a glass of the Bob’s African wine. I owe him.

Safe travels,
Emily
