Globally acclaimed actor, producer, and composer, Tsalta Baptiste, announces the launch of the first season of the Black Horror Film Festival on October 28 to 29.
The event seeks to elevate Black voices in the film industry by showcasing how people of color view horror and interpret their fears.
The festival is a provocative movement that reflects the Black experience like no other, for good or for ill.
With the slogan “For us, by us,” Baptiste hopes to inspire young filmmakers of color to explore their creativity.
The film festival gives back power to Black filmmakers and Black characters.
The earliest Black horror films date as far back as the 1960s, when Duane Jones successfully fought back against a horde of zombies in the “Night of the Living Dead”.
Unfortunately, Duane was killed by a lynch mob at the end, even though he was the hero for most of the film.
