South African actress, Xolile Tsabalala, has expressed excitement at being appointed an ambassador of the 2014 edition of the African International Film Festival.
Information from AFRIF indicates that it held a meeting with the actress at the recent Durban International Film Festival, Durban, South Africa, where she screened her award-winning short film, ‘Through Her Eyes’.
She promised to justify the confidence reposed in her.
Tsabalala said, “I’m very excited as an artiste and as a female filmmaker. Also, as an African, I am so happy about anything that brings Africa together and puts us on the world map. I’m overwhelmed with joy for being a part of the AFRIFF team.”
The star of Mnet’s Jacobs Cross and SABC1’s soap, Generation, alongside Nollywood actress Rita Dominic, will be the ambassadors for the festival.
AFRIFF will hold between November 9 and 16 at the Tinapa Business Resort in Calabar, Cross River State. The event will feature daily film screenings, workshops, master classes, exhibitions, film premieres, glamorous opening and closing ceremonies. It will round off with an award night that will celebrate winning film entries as well as their cast and crew.
