July 13: Collage Cultural Festival, Floriana, Malta: 8:00PM - 10:00PM
The Collage Cultural Festival will be screening a selection of the Media That Matters Film Festival shorts in their celebration of local and global cultures. The event will be held at the Argotti Gardens in Floriana on Sunday, July 13th from 4:00pm to 11:00pm. While the main attraction of the Collage Festival will be a concert by several bands, a selection of documentary shorts from the Media That Matters Film Festival will also be shown. This selection includes: Garbage Dreams, Rapping at Fear, Massacre at Murambi, and Ashray from the Seventh Annual Media That Matters Film Festival; A Girl Like Me and In Transit from the Sixth Annual Media That Matters Film Festival; World on Fire and The Luckiest Nut in the World from the Fifth Annual Media That Matters Film Festival; I Promise Africa, iThemba, Books Not Bars, and Novela, Novela from the Fourth Annual Media That Matters Film Festival; and We Were Humans from the Third Annual Media That Matters Film Festival.
This event, which is organized by the Third World Group and several other NGOs, also features art exhibitions, drum work shops, traditional food, a discussion forum, and stands where thirteen Maltese non-governmental organizations will be promoting their work. Although Collage aims to display aspects of many different cultures, it also offers a unique glimpse into how a number of global issues such as migration, racism, free trade and war are directly and indirectly affecting countries the world-over, including Malta. Entrance to the festival is free, but donations to the various social projects run by the Third World Group (primarily in Malta) will be greatly appreciated.
