5TH ANNUAL HISTORIC HARLEM PARKS FILM FESTIVAL Starting July 5th, the Historic Harlem Parks Coalition will host ten nights of film at their 5th Annual Historic Harlem Parks Film Festival, "Through African Eyes & Prized Pieces," a free outdoor event that is held in Marcus Garvey Park, Morningside Park, Jackie Robinson Park, St. Nicholas Park and Central Park's Harlem Meer.
Films in the festival range from powerful narratives to topical documentaries and include familiar classics and cutting-edge works.
Wednesday screenings are programmed by the African Film Festival and will explore the rich African cultural heritage from dramatic films such as South Africa's, U-Carmen eKhayelitsha, an operatic tour-de-force that will make you forget all previous film versions of Bizet's Carmen.

Included in this year's selection are 2005's Twelve Disciples of Nelson Mandela and 2003's All on a Mardi Gras Day.
