Capital City Black Film Festival 2021 Theme: Triumph
While Black people across the diaspora have experienced some of life’s greatest trials, there’s one common thread that connects us – our resilience. In 2021, Capital City Black Film Festival will elevate the stories centered on the beautifully complex lives of Black people with a focus on love, perseverance and ultimately joy. We are celebrating our wins and our ability to TRIUMPH.
In addition to providing a platform to showcase your work to fans and industry professionals, we continue to create opportunities for you to network with industry experts and insiders to share ideas, make deals and enhance your career. We plan to continue our promise of bringing you a best-in-class film festival with opportunities to learn, grow and connect with others in the film.
