Halifax Black Film Festival
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Halifax Black Film Festival is an annual film festival in Halifax, Nova Scotia.[1] Held in late February or early March each year, the festival programs a selection of African, Caribbean, African American and Black Canadian films.[2]
The festival was launched in 2017 by Fabienne Colas.[3] Due to the COVID-19 pandemic the festival was staged online in 2021 and 2022,[4] before returning to theatres in 2023.[5]
The festival's projects have included Being Black in Halifax, a program which commissions short films by emerging black filmmakers from Halifax, screening them in a dedicated program at the festival before they are aired on CBC Television as a documentary series.[6]
