The San Francisco Black Film Festival THE SAN FRANCISCO BLACK FILM FESTIVAL is a place to view films like no other. We do not specialize in film showing the standard stereotype we are used to. We try to show positive and innovating films that you may or may not be able to view at regular screenings. We bring a positive light by selecting films which Hollywood might not ever bring you. Films that show a more positive light or just scream out "The people need to see this!". Films shot with innovation or shot with a different technique or point of view than we are used to. Once in a while some negative movies may slip through, but under the surface we are trying to bring a different aspect to light. There are so many films that are being produced that many will never hear of. Not because they are not good but because the Hollywood market likes to put us in a box. This box is slowly being broken... There is so much going on with black media that most people are not aware of unless they are enthusiast, filmmakers themselves, or keeping up with the film festival scene. Since the camera and computer programs have become readily available or at least accessible to most, the media has taken off and we are catching up by leaps and bounds. The black film industry is exploding by creating and telling the story of the black man in the United States and worldwide to film lovers everywhere. Every story is being told or represented by newbies and O.G.'s alike. Some make it to the theater, some make it to DVD, and some you will get only one chance to see. Come and be a part of this festival or any festival you can attend! Support Black film... You will love it and it is our history being told and lived through film. This is not just for Black people... It is for every American. We are one in the same. My history has become yours... and yours has become mine... Thank you.
