There's a new film festival rolling in town. It's the Matatu Film Festival, a body of stories from around the world that opens Thursday at The New Parkway Theater with TriBeCa Film Festival favorite, "Stones In The Sun," followed by an electric performance by Zap Mama at The New Parish!
The film selections have received nods from lands afar, and we're so very excited to bring them to The New Parkway Theater in Oakland. Join us for some of the year's finest films beginning Thursday, and save a little energy for the Matatu Closing Party featuring Rich Medina + KingMost + Nina Sol + J Boogie this Saturday at The New Parish!
Tickets for the closing party are just $5 online and before 10PM Saturday night.

SURU is hosting the Matatu Closing Party ft. RICH MEDINA and are passing complimentary fashioned hats to the first 50 people through the door this Saturday.
And then, there were these reworks of the flier design by Lexx Valdez, earrings designed
and crafted by the lovely artist, Mercedes Martin:
the scoop on MATATU in OAKLAND
Broaklyn Film & Theater Co. is excited to announce the Matatu Film Festival. We believe that everyone has a spectacular story, that every spectacular story deserves to be heard, and that everyone deserves the means to travel, even through story.
We invite you to come aboard the matatu this week, as we present a body of stories concerned with global journeys of humility, pride, resistance, and faith, conveyed through film. From stories of black on black gentrification in South Africa, to post-Duvalier Haitian immigrants living in Brooklyn, to one man's process of coming to peace on his last day on Earth, we hope you'll enjoy the ride.
**A portion of all proceeds will serve to benefit our mission to share these stories and performances with those who've not the access, time, or financial means.**

Much respect from your friends at Top Ten Scial and Broaklyn Film & Theater Co.!!
