Pan-African Film Festival
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Pan African Film Festival (PAFF) is a non-profit corporation in Los Angeles that promotes cultural and racial tolerance and understanding by sponsoring annual exhibitions of film, art and creative expression. It was established in 1992.[1]
PAFF's stated goal is to present and showcase a broad spectrum of Black creative works, "particularly those that reinforce positive images and help to destroy negative stereotypes."[1] In 2009, PAFF was criticized by the African Holocaust Society for its policy of including works by White filmmakers in its festivals.[2]
