Celebrating Black Joy & Cinema at SBFF!

That’s a wrap! What an unforgettable weekend celebrating the 23rd annual Seattle Black Film Festival (SBFF). We are still buzzing from the incredible energy at the closing night kickback at Métier Brewing, surrounded by amazing creators, community members, and film lovers.

As the longest-running and largest Black film festival in the Pacific Northwest, SBFF once again brought pure Black joy, excellence, and storytelling to the forefront. From the packed house on opening night for the Tony C. Bombara film to the screenings of over 50 phenomenal films at Langston, this weekend was a powerful testament to our community’s legacy.

🎬 Festival Highlights & Innovations

The Theme: This year’s powerful focus was “Sound of Us,” showcasing distinct cinematic voices and diasporas from all over the world.

Rich Programming: Along with the amazing films, attendees enjoyed specialized workshops, including a film pitching session and the Langston Lounge pop-up club.

Deep Community Roots: Local leaders like Keya Free, founder of Hey Black Seattle, and Seattle Film Commissioner Lex Scope were in the crowd enjoying the youth film block, cinematic experiences, and local community connection.

Converge Media Was Proud to Support!

We at Converge Media were absolutely honored to be a part of the magic. Our very own TraeAnna Holiday (@traeholiday) was on the ground, proudly moderating a compelling industry talk with sound design and ADR specialist Bobbi Banks. Amplifying Black narratives, art, and heritage is at the heart of what we do, and being a partner for SBFF was an absolute privilege.

A massive shoutout to Executive Director Ebony Arunga and the entire Langston team for exuding so much joy and elevating this vital legacy.

📅 What’s Next? Keep your eyes peeled for the upcoming Seattle Black Nerd Festival returning to Langston this August! 🤓🖤

Celebrating Black Joy & Cinema at SBFF!

That’s a wrap! What an unforgettable weekend celebrating the 23rd annual Seattle Black Film Festival (SBFF). We are still buzzing from the incredible energy at the closing night kickback at Métier Brewing, surrounded by amazing creators, community members, and film lovers.

As the longest-running and largest Black film festival in the Pacific Northwest, SBFF once again brought pure Black joy, excellence, and storytelling to the forefront. From the packed house on opening night for the Tony C. Bombara film to the screenings of over 50 phenomenal films at Langston, this weekend was a powerful testament to our community’s legacy.

🎬 Festival Highlights & Innovations

The Theme: This year’s powerful focus was “Sound of Us,” showcasing distinct cinematic voices and diasporas from all over the world.

Rich Programming: Along with the amazing films, attendees enjoyed specialized workshops, including a film pitching session and the Langston Lounge pop-up club.

Deep Community Roots: Local leaders like Keya Free, founder of Hey Black Seattle, and Seattle Film Commissioner Lex Scope were in the crowd enjoying the youth film block, cinematic experiences, and local community connection.
