30th Annual American Black Film Festival

Since 1997, the American Black Film Festival has been the preeminent event celebrating stories by and about people of African descent.

From its trailblazing start as an independent film festival, ABFF has grown into a vibrant showcase of Black culture spanning film, television, music, technology, art, business, sports, wellness, comedy, and more. In 2026, ABFF marks its 30th anniversary under the powerful theme Homecoming—a tribute to the festival’s rich legacy and the global community we’ve cultivated over three decades.

Join us in Miami Beach, May 27-31, 2026, for five unforgettable days of screenings, star-studded events, exclusive parties, and unparalleled networking.

Be part of this once-in-a-generation celebration of culture, community & creativity.
