There were so many great films at #NAFF. Of the 28 offered I managed to see 22! If you are in the NYC area Film at Lincoln Center's African Film Fest is May 6-12th. Toronto Intl Film Fest #TIFF also shows some African films (Sept). There's also the Toronto Black Film Fest and next years Pan African Film Fest in Los Angeles (Feb). Check around. You might be able to catch some where you are.

‘Obsession’ Director Curry Barker Says He Cut “Six Or Seven” Head Smashes In One Gory Scene To Avoid NC-17 Rating – SXSW

Will definitely give this a try for an upcoming in-house TIFF to JP2 conversion pilot project!
