Launched in 2003, the Black Film Festival celebrates the history and culture of African Americans through film and provides a conduit between the Center and the community. Each year, the festival presents movies that focus on civil rights history and highlights contemporary narratives of resistance.

A spotlight on stories of courage and defiance—this program brings together films that trace the many forms Black resistance has taken across generations. Expect a mix of historical perspective and contemporary voice, curated to spark reflection, conversation, and a deeper understanding of how communities organize, endure, and push forward.
