BlackStar Film Festival is an annual celebration of the visual and storytelling traditions of the African diaspora and of global Indigenous communities, showcasing films by Black, Brown and Indigenous artists from around the world.
Learn more about our accessibility offerings and considerations for the 2022 BlackStar Film Festival. Please note that this guide is meant to accompany the 2022 BlackStar Program Guide, which has details about locations, showtimes, and more.
All festival attendees must show proof of vaccination and IDs at the door at all venues and for all indoor and outdoor in-person festival events.
We're here to provide support and resources for your wellbeing as you engage with the sometimes heavy subject matter of our films and conversations.
BlackStar creates the spaces and resources needed to uplift the work of Black, Brown and Indigenous artists working outside of the confines of genre. We do this by producing year-round programs including film screenings, exhibitions, an annual film festival, a filmmaker seminar, a film production lab, and a journal of visual culture.
