Greetings!

Apologies for cross-posting. This is to introduce a new Wikimedia project called "The AfroCine Project".[1] This new project is dedicated to improving the coverage of the history, works, people, places, events, etc, that are associated with the cinema, theatre and arts of Africa, African countries, the Caribbean, and the diaspora. If you would love to be part of this (or you're already active in this area), by coordinating local programmes around African cinema (independently or otherwise) in your community or local Wiki, kindly list your username or organization as a participant on the meta project page cited above.

Furthermore, In the months of October and November, we are organizing a global contest and edit-a-thon tagged: "The Months of African Cinema".[2] If you would love to join this exciting event, also list your username as a participant on the English Wikipedia contest page. If you would love to lead this contest (or any other relevant program) for a non-English Wikipedia community, please feel free to translate the English Wikiproject page to your local language Wikipedia, or you can create one from scratch!

If you have any questions, complaints, suggestions, etc., please reach out to me personally or right here on the mailing list or the project talkpages.

Thank you!

Sam Oyeyele.
