Has it been 16 years already? It sure has. The little film festival that could is not so little anymore. It is indeed that time of year again, for some of the very best black women in film to show their wares at the 16th Annual African American Women in Cinema Film Festival. Taking place this week in NYC, Zola Mashariki, Senior Vice President of Fox Searchlight, will be honored with the Trailblazer Award on opening night. A special screening of director Kasi Lemmons' Black Nativity, starring Jennifer Hudson, Angela Bassett, Mary J. Blige and Forest Whitaker, will be held on opening night as well. There will also be a special Q&A segment with the film's director and principle cast members following the screening. Tickets must be purchased prior to attending.
