Organisers of Village Arts & Film Festival better known as VILLAFFEST have concluded plans to hold the maiden edition of the annual festival in the quiet city of Owerri, the Imo State capital.
Eke, who’s also the founder of the annual The African Film Festival, TAFF, in Dallas, Texas, the United States, said VILLAFFEST seeks to celebrate Africa’s cultural vibrancy through indigenous Arts and Films for the preservation of the people’s culture.According to him, the festival will rekindle passion for local content as the only way in showcasing and exporting our unique cultural traits that has long been misrepresented across big screens around the globe.
“Finding an avenue to harness and preserve our ancestral artifacts is a must for a sustained economic and social impact in our rural communities and cities often bombarded with western cultural emblems.“From filmmaking to visual arts and performances, VILLAFFEST seeks to encourage African youths with interest in arts and film providing them a unique platform to harness and push the boundaries of their creativity.
TAFF was formed in 2015 as a non-profit organisation dedicated to African motion pictures to serve as a platform for educative references to African culture and to expose African films to non-African communities.
