One of the great things festival goers are raving about this year's event is that it's more than just compelling international films. Going to the One World Film Festival really is an all-encompassing experience. Not only can you see some great documentaries that touch on global and social issues worth contemplating, but you can catch some toe-tapping live musical performances, grab a bite to eat or some fair trade coffee from Umi Cafe, and engage in some interesting and thought-provoking discussions after the films.
Another fantastic part of the One World Film Festival is the wide assortment of kiosks we have. At the kiosks, you can find fair trade businesses and other organizations that have representatives who are more than happy to discuss where they come from and what they do. This year we have a lot of great merchandise for sale as well, including jabu bags that come from Swaziland and help generate revenue for the women in the region who make the bags.
Be sure to stop by our Safari kiosk and ask our volunteers about how you can bid on an Africa Safari trip for two. There's still plenty of time to bid—the highest bidder and "winner" of the trip will be announced October 30—the last night of the festival.
And that's not all! But to get the full experience, you can't just read about what the One World Film Festival offers. You have to be there! Your next chance is coming up this Friday, October 23, when the film selections will focus significantly on women's rights in Afghanistan and Iran. For more information about the films this Friday, please visit our website!
