Black Alphabet Film Festival

Black Alphabet Film Festival

Friday, 23 October 2026 until Sunday, 25 October 2026

Black Alphabet Film Festival (BAFF) is Chicago's premier film festival for the Black LGBTQ community.

Our mission is to promote social equity awareness and education in all aspects of life for the Black LGBT+ community through the use of media and the creative arts.

Each year our festival expands to other cities across the country, enabling us to screen your film in many markets.

Winners in each category (Best Feature, Best Documentary, Best Short) will receive a quality engraved crystal award showing the festival year and the name of the film.
