BLACK STORYTELLERS
Beautiful reminders of what art looks like…what art is… How culture creates Community and how communing creates Unity…WE tell our story .
The Denton Black Film Festival was created to highlight the richness of Black storytelling in film and media and to share these stories with broad audiences. Today, DBFF is the largest Black film festival in Texas and the Southwest. Through the Denton Black Film Festival Institute, we offer screenings, workshops, and opportunities for filmmakers and creatives of all backgrounds.
