Black Lens Film Week aims to shine a light on some of the most outstanding feature narrative and documentary films produced by and starring people of color. The Black Lens Film Week will highlight new innovative films and celebrate some familiar classics as well. It’s our intention that the films shown as a part of this program reflect the diversity of the black experience in America, both past and present.
