Jul 15, 2009 – Tiger Spirit selected for the TriContinental Film Festival in South Africa, Sep – Oct 2009

Storyline Entertainment is pleased to announce the selection of “Tiger Spirit” by the TriContinental Film Festival, which runs Sep 11 – Oct 12, 2009 in several cities in South Africa.

In the view of TriContinental Film Festival, South Africa must be viewed as an emerging democracy with an aspirant human rights culture that needs to be nurtured and promoted through a variety of mediums.  One of the most powerful ways to foster a human rights culture in this country and transmit positive messages about democratic values is through popular cultural and in particular through the visual medium of film and video.

TriContinental Film Festival strongly believes that film and video that is socially relevant can also serve as a popular mechanism for transferring positive messages around democratic values of human dignity, equality and freedom.  Crucially, film and video can also serve a vital role in insuring and restoring historical memory around struggle, oppression and denial of basic freedoms and inalienable rights.  In this way, film can inform younger generations about past hardship experienced in prior eras, and in turn, conceptualize both the democratic gains and enduring hardships experienced in these times.
