Our programming focuses on exhibiting and celebrating art and expression from Black culture across the African diaspora. \nFrom age-old classics to contemporary work\, the Black Bottom Film Festival (BBFF) illuminates and celebrates African American cinema and uniqueness of Black people on film. The festival screens short and feature films rooted in the recurring themes of spirituality\, race\, family conflict\, honor\, duty and the struggle of the working-class; themes ever-present in August Wilson’s American Century Cycle plays. In particular\, the festival celebrates African American filmmaking pioneers and history makers. The BBFF fosters an examination of how Black filmmakers use art to inspire\, challenge\, confront\, and influence American culture. \nThe August Wilson African American Cultural Center believes that creativity is boundless. We invite you to share your creativity on film with us.
