In this special episode, you can hear an Interview with Boukary Sawadogo and Assetou Kone. They introduce the first edition of the Harlem African Animation Festival, founded and organised by Boukary. It is the first Festival in the United States to be entirely dedicated to animated films and series from Africa. The Festival takes place entirely online from November 14 to November 22, 2020. The program includes panel discussions and live streamings followed with Q/A sessions.

"Film Studies bling-bling" is about hidden and well-known treasures, big and small diamonds from Film Studies. In each episode, we have a "Bling of the month"; scholars from Film Studies who are interviewed about their research. In the news section, you hear from current research projects or book publications, or whatever struck my way strolling around in the Film Studie's universe.

To keep this podcast visible for you we decided to add it to the Indiefilmtalk Catalogue in consultation with the podcast-creators. More informations on: www.indiefilmtalk.de
