The DC Black Film Festival (DCBFF) is dedicated to showcasing quality film, webseries and television content by and/or about people of African descent. We support emerging artists striving to add diversity to the images and storytellers working in the entertainment industry. The DCBFF is committed to playing an integral role in discovering, celebrating and helping films and filmmakers by bringing them to the attention of the industry, media and public.
*In light of the global pandemic (COVID-19) we plan to do a hybrid festival, both in person and virtual. If things get worse, we plan to go fully virtual, but we're hoping for a better 2022. As we did last year, we will have the amazing experience you've come to love!*
