One of the largest events in the Carolinas that promotes Black artists in the film industry, the Charlotte Black Film Festival, will return for its 13th year from July 6-9.
The festival attracts cinephiles and creatives alike during four days of film screenings, meet-and-greets, workshops and panels. The festivities will conclude with its Red Carpet Vision Awards, where the most outstanding movies and performances will be highlighted and honored. The festival is being held at the Hilton Charlotte University Place Hotel.
Festival founder Tommy Nichols combines his passions for film production, digital literacy and industry equity into the event’s programming.
“Everything that we create is to empower creatives or those that want to start in the entertainment industry. Everything that we do is based on the premises of being a service organization to those individuals,” Nichols told The Charlotte Observer in a recent interview.
This year’s theme is “Rise Up and Create Forward.”
