Welcome

The International Black Film Festival, Inc is a 501 (c) (3) organization that screens films in feature length,documentary and short from the U.S, Africa, and the diaspora to education about the Human experience.

We are attempting to "assist artist in implementing a tradition in social responsibility" because throughout the history of Africans in the Americas, Black artists have created and developed art as a means of advocating social, economic and spiritual equality.

And, in effect they've created "new aesthetic art forms" and "authentic national aesthetic expressions", i.e., Jazz, the American Theatre.

In accordance with our "Mission" the IBFF produces artistic/cultural and educational venues that focus on film and art by Africans, the descendants of Africans, and others.

In addition, to promoting cultural diversity and networking with professionals the IBFF has created venues wherein the audience can become aware and engage in discussion about the Human condition. i.e.,www.blackfilmforum.net.

We are committed to creating a dialogue across cultures by promoting a platform for collaboration and exchange at our "Monthly Forums and Festival venues" wherein we socially negotiate issues of importance.

We have created an innovative model for education about the Black experience, history, humanity, culture, society, and non-traditional points of view.

We provide an uplifting and informative experience to a diverse audience at, i.e.,Public Libraries,Universities, New York Open Center, New York Baha'i Center, Churches,Community and Civic Organizations, Black Expo, Festivals,etc, because we believe that " film can be used as a tool of social change".

The IBFF has the support of the community and many other organizations.

*IBFF is a member of the Harlem Arts Alliance.
