Call for Entries & Invitation To the 2013 Irepresent International Documentary Festival


CALL FOR ENTRIES & INVITATION TO THE 2013 IREPRESENT INTERNATIONAL
DOCUMENTARY FESTIVAL 21ST-24TH MARCH, 2013 IN LAGOS.

The I-REPRESENT INTERNATIONAL DOCUMENTARY FILM FORUM cordially invites you to its the 2013 documentary fiesta holding on March 21st-March 24th 2012 at Terra Kulture, Victoria Island and Freedom Park, Broad Street, Lagos, Nigeria.

FESTIVAL THEME
The THEME of the IREPRESENT INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL 2013 is conceptualized on the framework: AFRICA IN SELF CONVERSATION and it would explore the theme: “RECONNECTIONS”

Rationale:
In its years of existence, Africa has worn many faces and has assumed many identities most of them imposed by outsiders looking in. What then is the true definition of an African, what parameters can be used to define the African? Is it our values, cultures or our religion?

How do Africans at home and in the Diaspora see or think about themselves and their identity? What impact does western education, religious and economic value systems have on African socio-cultural life — for instance in creating in the African a conflict of identity?

The Festival will feature over 30 screenings of films addressing different aspects of its core theme from filmmakers from across the diapora. It will also feature panel discussions, a session on Project Pitching and a Producers Round-table.

KEYNOTE SPEAKER
PROFESSOR AWAM AKPAM, Dean of African Studies New York University has graciously accepted our invitation to be the KEY NOTE SPEAKER at iREP 2013.

Terrorist Attacks on America Before Osama Bin Laden Was Born : 1920 -2005.

Image
This is a record of all terrorist attacks in America and in countries with American interests and on American Embassies and citizens abroad. Osama bin Laden did not create the demons of terrorism. He is only one of the most diabolical and destructive of them all. The devil is the author of Terrorism in his capacity as the Son of Perdition and the father of chaos. It is very important to clarify these issues for the benefit of those who are ignorant and naive and have been jumping to erroneous conclusions. Terrorist Attacks (within the United States or against Americans abroad) 1920: septa. 16, New York City: TNT bomb planted in unattended horse-drawn wagon exploded on Wall Street opposite House of Morgan , killing 35 people and injuring hundreds more. Bolshevist or anarchist terrorists believed responsible, but crime never solved. 1975 Jan. 24, New York City: bomb set off in historic Fraunces Tavern killed 4 and injured more than 50 people.

Let Us Talk To Boko Haram - Nigerian Professor

A Commentary Direct Talk and Psychological Accessibility to the Boko Haram Group Is worth the Trial in Nigeria It is now obvious that the nation is now fully plagued by terrorism which is so widespread and monumental that it is hard to unravel. At a time when the Nigerian air is filled with the festivities of Eid al-Adha, the feast of sacrifice, which in a supposed way should involve the slaughter sheep and cattle, and not the near-sacrifice of a son, as in Abraham’s case, but the reverse is the case.Human slaughter is in our face on a daily basis in Nigeria due to the Boko Haram wrath. Violence in Nigeria, a country of more than 150 million with an almost equal split between the Christian south and the Muslim north is affecting public safety and national security. Nothing appears to be stopping the inflammable and untamed-able torment, fear and worry across the country. There appears to be a legitimate state of distress nationally, and the cause of the state of distress is growing d...
