San Francisco Black Film Festival will be screening a selection of films uplifting and celebrating the Black Diaspora. These films will showcase the African American culture, as well shed light on the injustices African Americans have faced over the past. Schedule and information on the films will be made available soon.

Founded in 1998 by Ave Montague (1945-2009), arts impresario, fashion industry executive and publicist, the San Francisco Black Film Festival provides 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. The San Francisco Black Film Festival has screened more than 10,000 films from around the world.
