This year we are fortunate to have films with good stories that highlight BIPOC journey across the globe: Canada, Ethiopia, France, Germany, Itay, Martinique, United Kingdom, and USA.
We want to thank our members who made the 4th anniversary of the Hamilton Black Film Festival a memorable one!
Special thanks to the city of Hamilton for supporting us, the talented filmmakers who submitted their films to our festival, and those who flew from overseas. We appreciate you from the bottom of our hearts!
THE 4TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE HAMILTON BLACK FILM FESTIVAL IS NOW CLOSED.
STAY TUNED FOR FURTHER UPDATES.
