African Films Fest - Film FELIX

Over the coming year we will be offering several films with deep ties to Africa, and we hope you'll join us for the fun! Most of the films will be directed and filmed in Africa, though some may focus on the diaspora living in other parts of the world.

Our first film, Felix, hails from South Africa: 13-year-old Felix Xaba dreams of becoming a saxophonist like his late father, but his mother, Lindiwe, thinks jazz is the devil’s music. When Felix leaves his township friends to take up a scholarship at an elitist private school, he defies his mother and turns to two aging members of his father’s old band to help him prepare for the school jazz concert. We will show Felix in our sanctuary and we'll have food to enjoy, too. Bring your friends! (PG - ages 8- 10 and above)

This Film is presented in collaboration with African Film Festival, Inc
