It also went on to be nominated by Tanzania in the Foreign Language category. Judging by your profile you would have been too young to know. The blogger was reminding people that Tanzania has had a submission to the Oscars and asks which will be the second submission.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17229004.post-26864091427321257592009-11-25T13:23:25.238-05:002009-11-25T13:23:25.238-05:00MadHatter

Navyoelewa alidhani unamaanisha kuwa Maangamizi ilionyeshwa kuzi huko West Virginia. Hakusoma dates. Hivyo yeye ni misleading.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17229004.post-6978625861470702272009-11-25T11:38:56.594-05:002009-11-25T11:38:56.594-05:00MadHatter, Maangamizi was screened at the West Vir...MadHatter, Maangamizi was screened at the West Virginia International Film Festival in 2001. You say you have only been affiliated with WVIFF for a few years, so maybe you should check your archives. I think 'Official Selections' just means that it was selected to show at the festival and not what you are thinking. I remember being invited to attend but it coincided with something else at the time. Our lead actress from Tanzania, Amandina Lihamba, who played Samehe attended the WVIFF screening.Chemi Che-Mpondahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16717731951202118305noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17229004.post-1641375003649079672009-11-24T21:53:32.467-05:002009-11-24T21:53:32.467-05:00This articles states that the film was an official...This articles states that the film was an official selection for the West Virginia International Film Festival.
