Seattle Black Film Festival

Calendar/Event Details

Seattle Black Film Festival is BACK and even better! For over two decades, SBFF has been a cornerstone of art, conversation, and community in the heart of the Central District. Hosted at the historic Langston Hughes Performing Arts Institute, SBFF celebrates Black storytelling in all its depth and brilliance.

For the 2025 festival, we’re not just bringing you over 100 films across the full spectrum of genres and styles. We’re also immersing you in interactive experiences like a House music party, a candid panel with some of your favorite Black content creators, and workshops to help you navigate the indie filmmaking landscape.

Gather your people and come make memories with us at SBFF 2025! In person and virtual.
