The Third Annual Hollywood Black Film Festival kicks off Jan. 31 with 45 films showcasing works in several competitive categories.
The four-day event will take place in Culver City, Calif., and feature 27 short films, nine student films, five documentaries and four feature-length films. The festival also includes seminars and workshops for up-and-coming filmmakers, actors and producers.
The Hollywood Black Film Festival was founded by Tanya Kersey-Henley to enhance the careers of black filmmakers through a competitive program.
“This is a black film festival in the heart of Hollywood, where emerging and veteran black filmmakers can bring their works to the attention of the mainstream Hollywood community in a truly engaging and professional film marketplace environment,” Kersey-Henley said.
