Chronic Youth Film Festival: Apostles of Cinema + Talking About Trees (PG*)

Against All Odds

Talking About Trees

Earnest and spirited, Apostles of Cinema and Talking About Trees put the spotlight on two passionate groups of East African film workers bringing cinema back to the community.

“They’re ready for their close-up, Mr. DeMille!” 

As a brief yet incisive journey into Tanzanian film culture, short film Apostles of Cinema makes for an exciting introduction to the deeper reflections on what community access to cinema means, as presented in feature Talking About Trees. Subtly political and delightfully exuberant, these pieces offer a piercing commentary on the value of cinematic legacies and celebrate humanity’s enduring love of film.
