Welcome to the 2008
Jokara-Micheaux Film Festival
“Celebrating Film Southern Style” August 28-August 31!
We are excited to be screening a host of
independent, family-oriented regional and national films and
videos that reflect our commitment to strengthening social
values and making a difference in the future of film and how
they influence and impact our lives and the lives of our
children. Feel free to attend the screenings, educational
symposiums and other exciting events and parties that are
scheduled throughout the three day festival.
