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.
