Thereafter, the screening of  films continue at the Pit Theatreand Seminar Room of the Institute of Cultural Studies each day.

In all, about 30 Documentary Films on different aspects of African life,
ancient and contemporary, have been listed for exhibition.  The Festival
is being organized in collaboration with the Centre for International
Studies, University of Missouri, Saint Louis, U.S.A.  

 Apart from its  recreational and educational benefits to staff and students, it will

afford scholars and film makers in Nigeria an opportunity to reflect on
different issues of African existence and essence, being raised in the
films, ranging from politics to religion, environment, gender, arts,culture and so on.

The Institute is, therefore, soliciting for the participation of all and
sundry in this innovative programme.
