In an industry where doors are often closed to authentic, bold, independent voices, the Micheaux Film Festival stands as a platform for storytellers who refuse to be told no or silenced. Built through resilience—weathering a pandemic, two industry-shaking strikes, and now the rollback of DEI initiatives—we return year after year to uplift and empower the artists who shape culture and the next generation of storytelling. We aren't just a festival; we are a movement. A movement where filmmakers, game-changers, and industry disruptors come together to showcase powerful stories, ignite conversations, and forge meaningful connections. What to Expect: 🔹 Thought-provoking screenings that break boundaries 🔹 Exclusive panels with industry leaders and change-makers 🔹 Unfiltered conversations on the future of film and representation 🔹 Networking mixers where careers are launched and collaborations are born At a time when funding for creatives is harder than ever, we know the struggle—because we’ve lived it. That’s why we’re committed to keeping this platform alive, ensuring that underrepresented voices get the recognition they deserve. Join us, experience the power of storytelling, and become part of a movement that refuses to back down. Tickets and passes available now.
