Denver Pan African Film & Arts Festival
"Infinite Possibilites"
Celebrating Black Cinema From Around The World
(screenings, workshops, lectures)

The
purpose of the Pan African Arts Society (PAAS) is to cultivate, enhance
and promote all art forms by people of African decent. The Society will
also act as an umbrella council for other local and national organizations
and individuals aiming to increase their professional marketing network.
This includes women, men, and youth from the African continent, African
Americans, people from all parts of the African Diaspora including, but
not limited to; South American Australia, Europe, the Caribbean, Canada,
and Asia.
The Pan African
Arts Society works to enrich and expand the content and level of exposure
to Black art and art forms for regional audiences; to provide a showcase
for international cultural workers which would not otherwise be seen
in Denver; to provide a platform for Colorado and national visual artists,
dancers, poets, storytellers, and independent filmmakers; to promote
dialogue among artists, cultural activists, critics, academics and the
public; and to provide unique programming for special audiences.
The flagship
event for the Pan African Arts Society is, Real/Reel Black: Denver
Pan African Film Festival 2002: "Infinite Possibilities" scheduled
for April 25-29, 2002 in connection with the Denver Film Society.
By using the genre of film as a cultural event and community builder,
Real/Reel Black: Denver Pan African Film Festival 2002 will present
a wide variety of film-related events and programs providing a showcase
for the best world cinema by and about Black people, and a forum for
interaction among film artists and the public.
