SAN ANTONIO BLACK INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL - SABIFF

Description

San Antonio Black International Film Festival was launched in February 2019, our goal is to present a variety of video/filmmakers and film professionals of African Descent, to audiences through their film products, genres, panel discussions, lectures, and training opportunities. SABIFF affirms that Black film matters. Movies in the form of narratives or documentaries, have the capacity to educate, enlighten, entertain, and empower audiences. Our hope with presenting international films and impactful programming is to normalize and expose our stories to audiences, for people to get a better understanding of cultures, subject matters, and people underrepresented in mainstream media. We aspire to elevate conversations, and bring light to stories that have been overlooked, stereotyped, or ignored by the film industry.

SABIFF is excited to present another impactful film festival, in San Antonio, the 7th largest city in Texas. Volunteers are needed with skills in the areas of: social media, marketing, internet, graphic arts, accounting, and journalism. Event planning is on-going for festival pre-production, planning, as well as supporting the actual festival which runs for 4 days, the first weekend in October. Festival developments are aimed to be both virtual/on-line at sabiff.tv, and physical at past partnership venues, contingent on the status of COVID19.
