Film Festival in African American Studies

Welcome to our Film Festival. Each year, we bring you four selections of some of the best educational and entertaining films available to the public. Our films will feature blacks in the United States, as well as Africans throughout the diaspora. With each film we will feature informed individuals who can help our audience place the film into context. Our discussions will include audience participation.
