Evidence note (master store)
Official African Film Festival, Inc. site (tier 2): 'Launched in 1993' — founded 1993 confirmed; NYAFF founder named as Mahen Bonetti; 2023 edition venues Film at Lincoln Center and Brooklyn Academy of Music (BAM) — partners claim confirmed; New York location confirmed. Stored superlative 'largest and most internationally recognized' is NOT on the official page (official says 'one of the first'); that wording rests on the UrbanGeekz seed article only — see flags.
