The American Black Film Festival (ABFF) wrapped on a high note Sunday with its signature Community Day, held in partnership with the Greater Miami Convention & Visitors Bureau at The Black Archives Historic Lyric Theater in Historic Overtown. The annual event welcomed locals and guests for an afternoon of film, dialogue and community rooted in one of Miami’s most storied Black neighborhoods.
Connie Kinnard, Senior Vice President, Multicultural Tourism & Development, said the agency and Jeff Friday, founder of ABFF, wanted to expand access to film aficionados and “make sure that the festival reaches more than one area.”
“We have our cultural communities all over,” Kinnard said. “And so part of the commitment of ABFF is to take a portion of ABFF to the greater Miami community.”
