The Diaspora Festival of Black and Independent Film is an annual event held at the Sonja Haynes Stone Center for Research in Black Cultures and Histories at The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.

Since the inception of the festival format in 2004 -- it started out as a popular film series -- the Diaspora Festival has been spotlighting films from all corners of the African diaspora. Many screenings are North Carolina premieres and feature commentary and appearances by filmmakers and local scholars. All screenings are free and open to the public and will take place at the Stone Center (150 South Rd, Chapel Hill).

Films that deal with African Diaspora issues and/or Independent films.
