The St. Louis Black Film Festival
The St. Louis Black Film Festivals’ focus is on Africa- American Films, past and present. Its mission is to promote, educate, and display new and current film projects of African-American descent or interest and films produced, directed, or acted by a majority of African Americans. Sponsored seminars are held to educate in the field of production, directing, acting, financing, and film distribution. All funding comes in the form of sponsors, advertisers, and donations.
The mission of the Classic Black Film Festival is a celebration of those films that were the pathways and opened the doors to many of today’s AfricanAmerican films.
These two projects are annual events. Down the road, we hope to establish a Black Hollywood Hall of Fame, and eventually a museum.
