Canadian Black Film Festival's blog

“Create, Display, Celebrate” The CBFF is the only Canada-wide festival dedicated to celebrating film and media works of African-Canadians and those works of African-Diaspora contact. The CBFF’s mission is to increase opportunities for film display, review and content creation across Canada and as such its mission can be defined by the tagline ‘Create, Display, Celebrate’. The festival itself was set up to address a gap in display opportunities in Canada for theatrical display of works of black origin or culture and defines itself as a ‘celebration event for ALL Canadians to explore, share in and celebrate the many select works that often do not get seen or screened in Canadian theatres. The key elements of the CBFF mandate and mission statement can be encapsulated in the slogan ‘Create, Display, Celebrate’.
