“The HBFF is an accessible platform to showcase films that are made by, for and about People of Colour around the world, focusing on both the challenges and triumphs of everyday life.” said festival founder Paize Usiosefe in a statement.
Featuring films by, for, and about the BIPOC community, the Hamilton Black Film Festival notes the importance of inclusion of the contributions of BIPOC filmmakers in front of and behind the camera.
Due to COVID-19, the majority of the film festival will take place online with live streams of the films being the only way spectators can participate this year.
Although film submissions have closed at the end of February, the festival is currently looking for sponsors for some events. For more information, visit the Hamilton Black Film Festival website.
