About this Event

The venue is being confirmed and we are seeking a library but this one may not be the final venue. The day is locked in. RSVP today for the 1st Annual Black History Film Festival of Oakland. The Black History Film Festival was created by Marvin Arrington Jr in Atlanta in 2008. The festival expanded to Washington, DC in 2015 hosted by Richard Campbell and last year in Miami, FL hosted by Jason Jones. In 2026, the Black History Film Festival expanded to Oakland. We like to keep it local as part of the City's revitalization program and host the screenings in a library. More information to come.
