In its first season, the festival will show films that cover everything from gangs to rebellions, oppression to triumph, and close with Remember Me: The Mahalia Jackson Story. Tickets are available at filmfreeway.
The festival welcomed 30 films submitted from all over the world about the social and economic issues of the oppressed. Black August is an invitation to reflect on the history of the Black freedom struggle, to celebrate those who have come and gone before us, and to commit to continuing this fight for justice and liberation until we win.
Films from eight different countries have been submitted, and there will be a foreign film block at the festival. The Black August Film Festival is unique in its make-up. This event will be for the conscious-minded individual who wants a world perspective of struggle against social barriers.
Pasadena African American Film Foundation (PAAFF) mission is to teach teenagers the process of filmmaking from conception to completion, provide local filmmakers access to the tools needed to make quality projects, and produce films that deal with local historical content.
