America's Largest and Most Prestigious International Black Film Festival Established in 1992, The Pan African Film Festival (PAFF) is a non-profit corporation dedicated to the promotion of cultural and racial tolerance and understanding through the exhibition of film, art and creative expression.
(417)
Mission: It is PAFF’s goal to present and showcase the broad spectrum of Black creative works, particularly those that reinforce positive images and help to destroy negative stereotypes. We believe film and art can lead to better understanding and foster communication between peoples of diverse cultures, races, and lifestyles, while at the same time, serve as a vehicle to initiate dialogue on the important issues of our times.

Join us this Tuesday (12.1) from 5-6:30pm for Man of Change: August Wilson’s "Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom". The new film adaptation of August Wilson’s play "Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom" stars the late Chadwick Boseman and Viola Davis and is coming soon to @netflix. In it, tensions and temperatures rise at a Chicago music studio in 1927 when fiery, fearless “Mother of the Blues” singer Ma Rainey joins her band for a recording session. Listen to cast members @kingofbingo, Glynn Turman, and Michael Potts as they explore Wilson’s work, their roles, and this upcoming release adapted for the screen by playwright, director, and actor Ruben Santiago-Hudson.
RSVP for Zoom instructions (link in bio).
It is with deep sorrow that we learned that our dear friend and PAFF juror Bill Wynn has joined the ancestors. A true film lover Bill was a pillar in the independent film community.
A film marketer, Bill called himself the PMD, producer-marketer-distributor of rare independent film from Africa and the African diaspora.
A longtime BADWest member and former curator of the St. Clair Bourne Documentary screening series. Our condolences go out to Bill Wynn’s family, and our friends at the Black Association of Documentary Filmmakers West. Bill Wynn you are appreciated. #badwest

History is in the small stories that we tell. You won’t find these stories in generic history books. 2. There’s a collective thirst for pure stories! Ppl want to know, and they want to help each other. 3. We all play a role... 4. Filmmaking is activism. 5. Learn about your own. 6. Who am I? #goodstuff ❤️
