Hi Alpha,
Great point!!! To be totally honest, we moved around the THROW DOWN YOUR HEART screening a few times to sort out the availability of the artists. We were shifting it long after the schedule for THE LUMINATO REEL was set (we are treating them as separate events) and we hadn't even noticed the overlap until you pointed it out.
I guess sometimes when working on over 200 events, things like this happen.
I'm sorry that you won't be able to see both, but hopefully we'll have enough interested folks to fill both screenings.
All the best,
Mitchell

Why is this planned as the same time as the screening of 'Rivers of Sand'?
Unfortunate that two events on Malian music coincide, I'm very interested in both and can imagine I'm not the only one.
Great that there are so many events with Malian artists though.
