BlackStar is headed to the Roots Picnic! At the two-day event, we will be screening short films featured in past BlackStar Film Festivals.
The films will play in pairs, on the hour every hour, between 2pm and 8pm ET on both June 4 and 5. Come visit our tent and catch past festival favorites like A Song About Love (dir. Rikkí Wright), Dear Philadelphia (dir. Renee Maria Osubu), Suicide by Sunlight (dir. Nikyatu Jusu), and many more. We will have sanitized headphones available for use.
