The Montreal International Black Film Festival is celebrating its 20th with an opening gala at the Olympia featuring legendary director Spike Lee. But that’s just the start.
The festival is showcasing 100 films from 30 countries across various Montreal venues until September 29th — with a pop-up market and free workshops and discussions about the most crucial cinematic issues.
For the fifth year, The Fabienne Colas Foundation is offering free access to films by Black creators in four neighbourhoods, for local youth and the public.
Films being showcased aim to inspire festival goers.
Additionally, it aims to highlight Haitian films and series, honouring the legacy created 20 years ago when the festival started as the Haitian Film Festival.
Some films highlighted at the festival include Le dernier repas (The Last Meal), Salem, Rouge, Luther: Never Too Much, Moses: 13 Steps, Sway, Madame Luna, Igualada, Fight Like a Girl, Kidnapping, and many more.
