An epic celebration of art and culture, Philly’s annual BlackStar Film Festival hands the mic and spotlight to some of the most brilliant Black, Brown and Indigenous voices in filmmaking and visual arts.

The annual Oscar-qualifying fest — founded in 2012 — features nearly 100 indie film screenings over four days, plus dozens of artist panels and conversations, community events, and parties.

Taking place at multiple venues across Philly, including the Kimmel Center for the Performing Arts, the Suzanne Roberts Theatre and the Wilma Theatre, as well as virtually, BlackStar Film Festival returns for its 14th year from July 31 through August 4, 2025.
