Los Angeles Amazigh Film Festival

It is our great pleasure to announce the ACAA sponsorship to the 3rd annual celebration of the Los Angeles Amazigh Film Festival that will take place on October 30th at the Barnsdall Theatre and Art Gallery in LA (see enclosed press release for more details).

The Los Angeles Amazigh Film Festival (LAAF) celebrates its 3rd year under the leadership of its founder Helene Hagan, a long time proud ACAA member , a fierce advocate of the Amazigh culture and the President and founder of Tazzla Institute for Cultural Diversity , a non-profit, 501c(3) California charitable and educational organization that was founded in 1993. Some of its activities can be viewed on its web site at www.tazzla.org. In 2007, Tazzla Institute initiated a new project in keeping with its commitment to educate American audiences about the Amazigh (Berber) culture.

The Festival, sponsored by the Department of Cultural Affairs, city of Los Angeles, the Amazigh Cultural Association in America (ACAA), and the Hagan Law Firm of Palo Alto and Los Angeles is rich in content and some of the major events that will take place are summarized below:

1. Two documentaries:

“Lost Art of the Sahara” Boilerplate Productions and Bradshaw Foundation, a Swiss ethnographic film (2006) directed by Kathi von Koerber and produced by Kiakheya productions.
“Footsteps to Africa: a Nomadic Journey” in Tamashek (Tuareg language)with the collaboration of the Tuareg people of northern Mali.

2. An all evening Art Exhibit with two special artists:

Philanthropist of Ojai Leslie Clark who heads the Nomad Foundation, a charitable organization which helps Tuareg and Waudabe people of northern Niger.
The silversmith Moussa Albaka of Agadez, Niger will bring his exquisite jewelry designs and Helene E. Hagan’s 2006 book “Tuareg Jewelry: Traditional Patterns and Symbols.”

3.      A guitar solo play by Alhassane Fongounou, member of the Tidawt band of Niger.

4.      Asshak: Tales of the Sahara” a film (110 minutes) by U. Koche, Catpics Productions, in Tamashek with English sub-titles. The film was made possible by the collaboration of Tuaregs of Northern Niger.

5.      A Concert of traditional Amazigh music of the High Atlas of Morocco by two talented musicians, AZA performers Fattah Abbou and Mohamed Aoualou, North African band from Santa Cruz.

The main speakers will be Helene Hagan (President of Tazzla Institute and Organizer of the Festival) introducing the event, and Aomar Benslimane (President of ACAA) speaking on ACAA contribution to the Amazigh culture over the years and its strong support to the Amazigh film festival and its intent to strengthen its commitment with Tazzla Institute for the purpose of educating the American audience on the Amazigh culture and finally Rachid Bouksim, Director of the Issi N’Ourgh Film Festival of Agadir, Morocco who will speak about the Amazigh Cinematography of Morocco

An ACAA booth will be available that will display some of the major publications that ACAA published or helped publish over the years (books, magazines, CDs, card games etc…).

Let’s show our support to the festival by gathering there over that week end. It will be a nice week end to support the festival, visit the west coast and re-connect our fellow imazighen of the west coast.

This is a unique and rich program of film, food and music celebrating the AMAZIGH culture of North Africa and the Sahara.

You told me not to drink, Mom,
So I had a sprite instead.

I felt proud of myself,
The way you said I would,
That I didn't drink and drive,
Though some friends said I should.
