27th Annual Black Harvest Film Festival
November 5 - December 2, 2021
Black Harvest has always been a party, but when you kick off the Festival’s month-long showcase of Black stories with Dionne Warwick? Well, you’ve got yourself a celebration for the ages. And it is one we all need. After months of not gathering together, and as the fight for racial equality and justice continues to be waged, Black Harvest endeavors to present portraits of joy, power, resilience and resistance, and to discover and spotlight emerging, talented storytellers. We’re excited to share these films with audiences - with over 25 feature narrative and documentaries, six short film programs and tributes to both Gordon Parks and Melvin Van Peebles, the past, present and future of Black cinema is here, now, and spectacular. This year’s Festival is a triumph through and through - let’s celebrate.
