 <http://qwocmap.org/festival2011/schedule.html> QWOCMAP Films - Music & Message

We believe that music is crucial to film, and our Film Festival celebrates this vital combination of motion picture, music and message.  To quote DJ Olga T, we think that like film, "music is the common language that transcends all the differences among people. It shifts moods, inspires unity and speaks to all who are listening."
