SAN ANTONIO – Now in its 5th yr, the San Antonio Black International Film Festival is celebrating and highlighting Black filmmakers and artists.
“This year’s theme is HBCU Love and what we are doing is we are celebrating creatives from historically Black universities,” stated Mia Morris, a volunteer for the pageant.
More than 50 movies have been decided on and might be proven at St. Phillip’s College and the Carver Community Cultural Center.
“I’m very anxious to see what the audience thinks because, again, it’s hard to watch, but we will do a Q & A after my film. So, I will be able to answer any questions,” stated Celine Igwe, a filmmaker.
San Antonio resident Celine Igwe is in the back of the movie titled “Noctiulca,” which makes a speciality of kid abuse.
“Basically, this child fell through all of the systems in America that we really shouldn’t. There’s no child that should fall through these cracks,” Igwe stated.
She stated this pageant serves as a very important platform for filmmakers to exhibit their paintings and connect to the group.
“For me, it helps me feel like I’m seen because it is hard not only in San Antonio — it’s hard internationally for Black filmmakers to be recognized and seen and our stories to be heard,” Igwe stated.
The match takes position from October 5-8.
