We are pleased to bring you this year's Tsehai Film Festival! The Festival is an annual event that has been hosted across the US and we are happy to announce that this year the Festival has been selected as a UN Week Event.
The 2009 Tsehai Film Festival is selected to be part of the United Nations Week celebrations. Every year, UNA-NCA (United Nations Association of the National Capital Area) commemorates the day the Charter of the United Nations went into effect (October 24th, 1945) by organizing a week of conferences and events with several partners in the capitol area. Tsehai Film Festival is proud to collaborate with UNA-NCA and host this year’s Film festival in the Washington, DC metro area as part of these events.
A project of the Ethiopian Heritage Foundation, Tsehai Film Festival is jointly organized by Tsehai Publishers, the International Journal of Ethiopian Studies, the Ethiopian Institute for Nonviolence Education and Peace Studies and the African Academic Press. The main objective of Tsehai Film Festival is to initiate a dialogue concerning issues that matter to us worldwide and to bring together filmmakers, academics, researchers, other professionals, civic and political leaders, artists and entrepreneurs to discuss, debate and deliberate on the state of Human condition internationally.
