BLACK FILM FEST ATL (www.BlackFilmFestATL.org)
Event Details
Black Film Fest ATL (BFF-ATL) is a niche market film festival held annually in the Midtown area of Atlanta, Georgia. Founded on October 3, 2018 by an award-winning independent Atlanta-based filmmaker, this non-profit organization serves as a conduit for feature films of multicultural diaspora and provides a creative environment where minority filmmakers can showcase their latest creations to diverse audiences in hopes of attracting reputable producers, sales agents, aggregators, and acquisition executives of movie studios, cable / tv networks, production companies, and streaming service platforms.
Unlike most film festivals, the primary goal of BFF-ATL is to assist in the growth and the development of independent filmmakers seeking to further satisfy their creative prowess, thus earning the moniker “A Filmmaker’s Festival”. As such, the Annual Black Film Fest ATL hopes to attract talented new and experienced indie filmmakers along with an impressive network of film industry movers and shakers.
The inaugural BFF-ATL takes place over 3 days during the weekend of September 20 – 22, 2019. This official “End of Summer” film festival features a host of activities to include an Friday Afternoon Meet & Greet, “The Indie-Stry” Filmmaker’s Forum, “Pitch Black” Film Pitch Showcase, “The Indies” Awards Gala and the film screening series entitled “Rep Your City” Movie Marathon.
This year, we are screening 11 Short films and 5 Feature films at the Plaza Theater, Atlanta’s oldest and only independent cinema operating in the heart of Midtown Atlanta. Each film or screening block will be followed by a post-film discussion with Q & A.
