Celebrating its 20th annual festival, the Seattle Black Film Festival (SBFF) returns to Seattle for another year of Black Brilliance in film!

After a pandemic, a name change, and a virtual festival, SBFF returns to bring local, national, and international films to the area, from April 22nd-30th. SBFF is a program of LANGSTON and is held at the Langston Hughes Performing Arts Institute, which recently celebrated its 50th year as a Black cultural hub in the historic Central District.

The nine-day festival from April 22-30th features a diverse lineup of over 50 films made by local and international filmmakers, West Coast premieres, an all-ages selection for families, an LGBTQ block co-presented with Three Dollar Bill Cinema, and plenty of talkbacks with visiting filmmakers. SBFF continues a long tradition of bringing brilliant Black films to the Pacific Northwest as no other film festival can. Continuing with a hybrid model of the festival, SBFF will make all films available to watch online as well. 

Passes and General Tickets are now on sale.
