Meet the Philly filmmakers presenting films at this year’s BlackStar Film Festival

July 29, 2025

A film still from Della Can Fly shows an older Black man and young Black girl standing next to each other, looking beyond the camera. The man wears a blue beret and a red multicolored fuzzy cardigan. The young girl is wearing a black polka dot top, and her black hair is styled in braids, with the first two on each side being red.
