The Denton Black Film Festival was created in order to address under-representation in film and media by giving Black stories an audience and Black creatives a platform. The festival has expanded to the the Denton Black Film Festival Institute and serves filmmakers and creatives of all backgrounds.
Storytelling is the core of any culture. And at the Denton Black Film Festival, we share stories of the Black community – it’s traditions, ideas and experiences – in a multitude of ways. Each festival, held annually in January, features Black cinema, music, art, spoken word, comedy, food and fashion. It’s our way of bringing the Black experience to life.
