Comment on Facebook
The 1st Annual BlackStar Film Festival provides an opportunity to watch artistically innovative and genre-defying films from a unique point-of-view that is not always given attention at mainstream festivals. The Festival’s mission is to celebrate the visual and storytelling traditions of the African Diaspora and to showcase independent film and video works by and about black people from around the world.
The 1st Annual BlackStar Film Festival takes place August 2-5, 2012. The only event of its kind in the city, BlackStar seeks to highlight the global black experience. The four-day festival includes 40 films, including narratives, documentaries, music videos, and experimental films produced, written, and directed by filmmakers from Africa, Europe, North America, and South America. In addition to industry workshops and intimate conversations with directors and producers, the festival will be accompanied by receptions, after parties and a market with exclusive pop-up shops.
