Denton Black Film Festival 2022 Finalists

By now, you’ve heard that DBFF 22 is ALL virtual. What hasn’t changed is that this year’s festival will still feature more than 100 films that you can watch from home, as long as you purchase your ticket. You have two options of festival passes: VIP Virtual Experience Pass that allows access to ALL virtual experiences, or a Five Block Virtual Experience Pass that allows you to choose virtual film screening blocks and other ticketed events of your choice. It’s all up to you.

 

Whatever you decide, don’t forget to watch vote for your fave films in the People’s Choice Awards.
