The Black Reels Film Festival (BRFF) is an event for Black filmmakers and film lovers to connect and share.
At the BRFF, you can expect to watch a plethora of diverse short films and stories that will leave you wanting more. We hope that you can see yourself reflected in these works, which explore topics like love, movement, connection, queerness, identity and more.
You can choose to attend the following Short Film sections: "Love and Freedom," "We Invented Embodiment," and "The Work We Do." Our Feature Film section will show a film by director and Associate Professor at UC Davis, Branwen Okpako.
Additionally, we invite you to attend the world premiere of the two short films created during our first ever Black Reels Filmmaking Workshop, "Falling into the Light" and "Meditation on Memory and Ancestral Access." Afterward, the workshop participants, Black filmmakers from throughout Germany, will hold a panel discussion to share the experience.
We will also host additional panel discussions with Black voices in Germany's cultural industry, one on each day of the BRFF.
Come to network, connect, exchange, and experience films where we are in control of our narrative, behind and in front of the lens.
