Providing the platform for the black narrative to be told & heard through film
*Some films include graphic language
***LIMITED TICKETS AVAILABLE TO PUBLIC***
Join us as we cultivate educated discussions on black history/culture /issues through creative independent films from across the U.S.
|
The 2020 Black Film Festival "Black Truth" seeks to encourage educated discussion of black history & culture. This is not your typical film festival!
Today, there are still too many untold stories, too many unanswered injustices, too many questions and prejudices. There's no denying not enough of the world, even within the black culture has a complete picture of the black narrative. So we invite you to share an evening exploring the stories of black communities from across the USA. We invite you, challenge you even to first learn, then help change the black narrative simply by sharing the truth. One story at a time.
The future depends on it. The time is now. |
