Black Film Festival Atlanta! is ecstatic to be the premier outlet in Atlanta for Black filmmakers! We are celebrating the festival in Atlanta this year! More information will be provided in the upcoming weeks ahead.

It's our fourth season and we've received overwhelming feedback about each of our festivals! Participants and moviegoers alike are excited to be a part of this emerging, landmark event in the new filming capital of the South.


BFFA's mission is to highlight the works of talented filmmakers who otherwise may not have the opportunity to showcase their projects. Our goal is to also educate the new filmmaker with industry-related resources and provide an excellent opportunity for networking.

We are excited about the industry experts who will share industry-related tips and advice for filmmakers.

Thanks for sharing the word! Until we see you at the festival, happy movie going!

    The best film community ever. I feel like a bond was created and I am not apart of a family.

    A great festival for connecting with other creatives! Raecine is such a warm and welcoming festival director. So grateful the Atlanta premiere of our short film "Do It for Grandma" was here.
