Sankofa Film Festival

The Sankofa Film Festival is now accepting submissions of independent features, shorts, narratives, web series and documentary films made by or about people of African descent from around the globe. It will feature films that showcase narratives of the divergent and dynamic stories of Black life in the US and internationally. The Sankofa Film Festival, featuring films from the African diaspora, is scheduled for September 23-25 in Minneapolis, MN. It will held in the theatre at Intermedia Arts, 2822 Lyndale Avenue South, Minneapolis, MN 55408. The Sankofa Film Festival was founded to showcase the ever evolving vision of African cinema, and to address the under-representation of films and filmmakers of African descent. It takes place in the Minneapolis/St. Paul area which is home to not only a vibrant African American community but also one of the largest African communities in the country, with residents from Liberia, Somalia, Ethiopia, Nigeria, Kenya and others.
