SAN DIEGO BLACK FILM FESTIVAL, California, USA January 30 to February 2, 2014

9/17/2013

0 Comments

 
In the Spotlight today is the 11th Annual San Diego Black Film Festival (SDBFF), aiming to advance worldwide exposure for big-screen stories that engage with and examine the black experience. All films honored at SDBFF must be directed by, produced by, or star an artist of African descent or focus on subject matter surrounding African or African-American culture. It's a celebration that focuses on stories, people, and passions that are too often unexplored or honored in mainstream filmmaking.

Competitive categories at SDBFF range from dramas and comedies to animations, music videos, religious films, and LGBT stories. Last year's award winners included a documentary chronicling the struggle of Muslim Americans in the face of prejudice (The Test of Freedom), a drama following a gospel quartet as they seek to help the homeless (Gospel Good, Gospel Bad, Gospel Ugly), and a comedy centering on a donut shop that will do anything to stay profitable (The Donut Shop).

Unfolding in one of California's most beloved cities, SDBFF is an ideal place to mix and mingle with other like-minded filmmakers while enjoying red carpet premieres, an exclusive breakfast gala, scintillating panel discussions, and an exciting awards dinner that honors an industry luminary.
