CITY OF MIAMI
As Mayor of Miami-Dade County and on behalf of our nearly 3 million residents, I am proud to welcome you to the 29th annual American Black Film Festival. Whether you’re a filmmaker or a film enthusiast, our County invites you to celebrate the entertainment industry’s remarkable Black talent.
The sharing of stories and the opportunity to engage with people of all backgrounds and experiences is one of our community’s greatest strengths. Through the groundbreaking screenings you will witness here, diverse stories will be told, shared, and experienced, creating a greater awareness of and connection to the Black community.
Miami-Dade is proud to celebrate the American Black Film Festival as it returns to our County, contributing to our culturally rich, welcoming, and world-class community. I wish all the organizers, participants, and attendees another successful film festival.
Warmly,
Daniella Levine Cava
Mayor, Miami-Dade County
