Pan African Film Festival

AFS welcomes Los Angeles’ famed Pan African Film Festival (PAFF) for a second annual Austin series, presenting a selection of the most acclaimed films from PAFF’s February festival. Established in 1992 by Hollywood veterans Danny Glover, the late Ja’Net DuBois (Good Times), and Ayuko Babu (Executive Director), the Pan African Film Festival (PAFF) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that has remained dedicated to the promotion of Black stories and images through the exhibition of film, visual art, and other creative expression. As the critically acclaimed largest Black film and arts festival and Black History Month activation in the United States, PAFF has become the quintessential global celebration of Pan-African cultures and an international beacon for the African diaspora film and arts communities. Pan African Film Festival leaders, including General Manager Asantewa Olatunji and Asst. General Manager Linda Bronson-Abbott, will be in attendance along with newly appointed Executive Director Oduduwa Olatunji, who will be in attendance to introduce the films.
