ABFF Brings Festival Magic to D.C. | Washington DC News

Get ready to experience the magic of cinema right in the heart of D.C. — the American Black Film Festival is rolling into Union Market this September with a special three-day pop-up event, celebrating its 30th anniversary and spotlighting groundbreaking films like “Three Colors: Pan-African,” an innovative anthology by three visionary directors. Beyond screenings, expect dynamic panels, a master class from the New York Film Academy, and the legendary HBO Short Film Competition — a launchpad for rising stars like Ryan Coogler. Rooted in Howard University ties and deep D.C. connections, this event isn’t just about film — it’s about community, inspiration, and opening doors for every storyteller who dares to dream big.
