Join us at the 2024 BlackStar Film Festival
Film screenings, panels, and events in Philly and online.
The festival Opening Night film follows three Black queer femmes in their mid 30s take a road trip across the Midwestern United States in search of their friend who has seemingly disappeared off the grid.
Life Is Beautiful tells the story of how director Mohamed Jabaly fought for his rights as a Palestinian and a filmmaker when stranded in Norway due to circumstances beyond his control. The film is a love letter to Gaza, to his adopted hometown in Tromsø and to the empowering force of storytelling.
An intimate, experiential and observational five-part series that studies and reveals how citizens are socialized, shaped and formed within a society. Filmed in pre-pandemic Dallas, Texas, the series follows the lives of public representatives.
The festival Closing Night film follows an actress three months postpartum as she attempts to find meaning in the writings of Martinique’s lost literary figure Suzanne Césaire.
Join us as we kick off the festival in style with music, dancing, and more! The party, co-presented by Andscape, will feature mixes by DJ Aura and DJ BenHa Meen, with host Queen Jo.
