Congo in Harlem 3

October 16-23, 2011

Presented by Friends of the Congo, True-Walker Productions, and Maysles Cinema

Congo in Harlem 3 is the third annual series of Congo-related films and special events at the Maysles Cinema in Harlem. This years program features a wide range of films by Congolese and international directors, representing some of the most important issues facing the Democratic Republic of Congo today. Most screenings will be followed by panel discussions, special events, musical performances, and receptions. Congo in Harlem 3 will provide audiences with more than the traditional movie-going experience -- it will offer opportunities to celebrate Congolese culture, learn about the ongoing humanitarian crisis, engage in dialogue, and get involved.

A critical focus of this years program will be the upcoming 2011 presidential elections in Congo, scheduled to take place in late November. Key issues will be addressed in panel discussions and post-screening Q&As.
