The summer arts festival AFRICAS continued its exploration of African cultures on Friday with a tribute to Mahamat Saleh Haroun, a film director from Chad whose feature films "Bye Bye Africa" (1999), "Abouna" (2002) and "Daratt" (2006) have received international acclaim. The Dartmouth Film Society paid tribute to Haroun in an evening that included the presention of the Dartmouth Film Award and a screening of his newest film, "Daratt" (2006). The tribute began with a short and disastrous clip from Haroun's first feature, "Bye Bye Africa," a docu-drama starring Haroun, who plays a fictionalized version of himself, as he returns home following the death of his mother.

Just in case you missed it, one week ago a brand-new pop star was born out of the American Idol machine. Surrounded by cheering fans, draped in confetti and swarmed by already-ousted contestants eager to bask in the winner's glow, David Cook became the seventh champion of the unstoppable pop show, edging out runner-up David Archuleta by 12 million votes in a surprising and trend-bucking landslide victory. Cook's impressive win came after last Tuesday's second-to-last show, which saw both him and his young competitor lay everything they had on the line.
