I'm digging this new series I just learned about courtesy of the Afro-Europe blog... it's an Afroklectic initiative, which itself is a space created in 2010 by Gillean Opoku, a Ghanaian who was born and raised in Australia, as a platform to promote and celebrate the emerging creative culture within the African-Australian community, as well as communicate to a global audience outside Australia that there are Africans living in Australia.

While others are apparently hanging the future of black cinema on upcoming mega-budgeted blockbusters like George Lucas' Red Tails (out next January), and Quentin Tarantino's Inglorious Black Basterds... uhh... sorry... wrong movie... I meant, Django Unchained, I'm much more interested in the successes of 2 far less expensive upcoming films with stories centered on the experiences of black people across the diaspora - Alrick Brown's Kinyarwanda (AFFRM's second release, in theaters beginning December 2nd), and Dee Rees' Pariah (to be released by Focus Features on December 28th).
