Inspired by our 2022 Queer Filmmaker Spotlight and our 2023 Black Film Club we bring you:
Get REAL’s Black Film Festival!
What is Get REAL’s Black Film Festival?
Our Black Film Festival is a virtual space open to everyone 19+ to watch impactful Black films in a free, virtual setting that is structured, educational, accessible and fun!
We have screened a variety of docu/drama, feature films and shorts films! On the third night after the film screenings we will usually host a virtual panel with filmmakers from the films screened during the week, where have been able to learn the insights of the films, advice on the film industry and much more!
Our 2025 Black Film Festival was held the week of February 25th - 27th!
