"The Africa in Motion film festival
is a brilliant addition to Edinburgh's annual programme of festivals. Too often the common perception
of Africa is a continent plagued by poverty and disease. It does face many, many challenges, but
it also has wonderfully rich and diverse cultures, and I'm particularly pleased that Scotland
provides this great showcase for African filmmakers."
Rt Hon Jack McConnell MSP, First Minister of Scotland (2001 - 2007)
"Live Aid was an entertainment format that was used to highlight the humanitarian issues
in Africa through music. Now, through Africa in Motion some great African filmmakers are being
given a long overdue opportunity to screen their work and tell their own through-provoking stories about
Africa."
Midge Ure
"I am delighted that Edinburgh is home to Africa in Motion,
the UK's biggest African film festival. This year's programme
features films from nations all over the continent, and premieres
for Scottish and UK audiences. As well as showcasing acclaimed
African directors and supporting new filmmakers, Africa in Motion
includes a whole range of events letting us all experience and
celebrate African culture in all its varieties. That’s how we can
build friendships across the world and reach mutual understanding and
acceptance with other peoples."
Linda Fabiani MSP, Minister for Europe, External Affairs and Culture
