Title
Panther Film Fest: The International Black Panther Film Festival
Description
The International Black Panther Film Festival is a non-competitive cultural program that expresses the spirit of liberation exemplified by the Black Panther Party. Exuberant images of fighting black youth have inspired artists around the world to make films about the struggle waged by the Black Panther Party. More than 20 such films have been produced, most of which are rarely seen. The genesis of this festival is to show a new generation of black and Latino youth this powerful story of resistance.
We present dramas, documentaries, and shorts; some made in 1968 and 1970, others produced within the last few years and several directed by former members of the Black Panther Party. The festival also will host discussions with film makers and question-and-answer sessions. Finally, there also will be a panel with hip hop artists who will discuss their relationship to this artistic legacy.
