The Black Femme Supremacy Film Festival is proud to host the WORLD PREMIERE of Anatomy of Wings as it’s closing night film on Sunday September 6th followed by a Q+A moderated by festival founder, Nia Hampton. All Films will be available to watch until Monday September 7th.

Seed and Spark will be hosting a free “Art of the Pitch” workshop just ahead of the opening night film on Friday 09/04 @ 2pm.

Stand out shorts include Felicia Pride’s Tender, playing in the “Legacy of the WAP” program on Saturday 09/05 @ 4pm and Stephanie Diane Ford’s The Black Baptism on Sunday @ 4pm in the “Legacy of Black Magic” program.

The Black Femme Supremacy Film Fest encourages filmmakers who are on the margins to come together and find community within ourselves. We want to re-envision the Black Femme as a global protagonist and universal archetype. We aim to appeal to the whole of who our audience is, as so often Black Femmes are forced to choose between their blackness or their queerness. This is a festival that celebrates both.
