About this event

The Renaissance Black Film Festival is a vibrant four-day celebration honoring independent filmmakers of color. Across the weekend, expect powerful screenings all day Friday and Saturday, showcasing diverse stories and fresh perspectives. Each night—Thursday, Friday, and Saturday—screenings flow into unforgettable after-parties where creators and audiences connect in joy, rhythm, and culture. The festival culminates on Sunday with our inspiring awards ceremony, recognizing outstanding talent and vision.
