The mission of the San Francisco Black Film Festival is to celebrate
African American cinema and the African Cultural Diaspora and to showcase a
diverse collection of films – from emerging and established filmmakers. This is
accomplished by presenting Black films, which reinforce positive images and
dispel negative stereotypes, and providing film artists from the Bay Area in
particular and around the world in general, a forum for their work to be viewed
and discussed. Impacting tourism and cultural exchange, The San Francisco Black
Film Festival believes film can lead to a better understanding of and
communication between peoples of diverse cultures, races and lifestyles, while
simultaneously serving as a vehicle to initiate dialogue on the important
issues of our times.
