Project Description
With support from the C.A.C., the San Francisco Black Film Festival will support the curatorial and production costs of the 22nd annual San Francisco Black Film Festival in June 2021. Curated by the Artistic Director and a team of film professionals, the Festival’s estimated 50+ screenings, filmmaker presentations and panel discussions will explore social justice issues such as white supremacy, cultural equity, police violence, economic justice and the roll-backs of voting rights.
Organization Summary
THE SAN FRANCISCO BLACK FILM FESTIVAL was founded with the artistic vision to provide a platform for Black filmmakers, screenwriters, and actors to present their art. As a competitive film festival, SFBFF identifies filmmakers, screenwriters, and actors that are emerging as talents and established artists who are contributing to the cinematic legacy of African Americans. SFBFF conscientiously expands the notions of “Black film-making” to a global perspective. Hence, film submissions are accepted worldwide from filmmakers and screenwriters who are of African descent and others, or feature actors representing the African Diaspora..
