Addis Ababa, capital of Ethiopia, XXIst century. In the light of neon or tropical heavens, Addis Nocturne is an ode for a musical treasure with contagious tones which few people know.

The Palm Springs International Film Festival, the first major film event of the 2011 film calendar, is known, among other things, for its embrace of films being considered for the Academy Awards in the Best Foreign Language Film category. The Festival routinely screens most of the films eligible, screening the films that the countries themselves have put forward for nomination.

The Sephardic Film Festival was founded in 1990 by Sephardic House (now American Sephardi Federation/Sephardic House). It was the first Jewish film festival in New York City. Its goal:
"to illuminate the scope of the
Sephardic experience; to raise the consciousness of the American Jewish, and non-Jewish, community to a better understanding of Sephardic Jewry; and to present, through the medium of film, the history, literature, poetry, music, dance, customs and traditions of the
Sephardic world."
