If You Build It/They Will Come: Building legacy and community through Black Film Festivals
hosted by Sydney Chatman
The power of the media has the ability to shift perceptions, remind us of our humanity, and make us whole. We belong here. Our visibility in films matter. When we are the curators of our own stories, we uplift our communities and remind them that our existence has power. Join three curators of film festivals as they discuss why centering Black film is important to our legacy. Listen as they share how they build community…one film festival at a time. This discussion will highlight the importance of Black film festivals as agents of change and curators of love.
