The Greater Cleveland Urban Film Festival returns for its 12th edition this weekend. Billed as one of the top ten largest film festivals in the country dedicated to films by and about people of color, the event showcases more than 70 feature films, shorts, special features, animated films and documentaries with both in-person and online screenings.
The theme of this year’s festival, which runs Sept. 14-22, is Afrofuturism 2.0: The Next Level of Black Film, Life and Culture.
“It’s what you get when you mix science and technology with the African Diaspora,” GCUFF Executive Director Donna Dabbs explained in a press release. “It’s what Afrofuturist and last year’s GCUFF guest, Ingrid LaFleur, describes as ‘a way of imagining possible futures through a Black cultural lens.’ Our aim is to establish an immersive platform where filmmakers and film lovers can connect and engage at multiple levels and even the next level.”
