Why: The San Francisco Black Film Festival in its twenty-fourth year continues to affirm its founding philosophy of “Healing the World One Film at a Time." The need to utilize the art of film to change hearts and minds to heal as a means to foster understanding and appreciation of all people is evident by today’s headlines. The recent gun massacres underscore the importance of the San Francisco Black Film Festival.

The Mission of the San Francisco Black Film Festival is to celebrate African American cinema and the African Cultural Diaspora and to showcase a diverse collection of films – from emerging and established filmmakers. This is accomplished by presenting Black films, which reinforce positive images and dispel negative stereotypes, and providing film artists from the Bay Area in particular and around the world in general, a forum for their work to be viewed and discussed. The San Francisco Black Film Festival believes film can lead to a better understanding of and communication between peoples of diverse cultures, races, and lifestyles, while simultaneously serving as a vehicle to initiate dialogue on the important issues of our times.
