African Superheroes Day Sunday 27th Feb 2011
The original three-and-a-half-hour event repeated by popular demand with African Superhero DVDs for sale on the day and interviews with animators and directors.
African Superheroes: Many artists are making up for the severe lack of positive images of Black people in animated films and comics. This animation festival for 6-60-year-olds will feature a variety of African-themed cartoons which tell tales of; Magical Nigerian women warriors, Anansi the West African Folk Hero, The story of Ogun and Oshun, Teenage Black superheroes and more.
