Why: The
San Francisco Black Film Festival, founded by the late San Francisco Arts impresario,
Ave Montague, is a growing brand that increasingly gives a platform for
emerging multicultural filmmakers and established Hollywood filmmakers to
display work reflecting the African Diaspora and to interact with each other as
the festival stimulates tourism. SFBFF
goes beyond entertainment. The evolving brand as it increases tourism has become
an economic platform for workforce development with its partnership with the
National Coalition of 100 Black Women San Francisco Chapter Doris Ward
Workforce Development Program. Visit www.sfbff.org
