BGDM Member Films at BlackStar 2023

Lissa Deonarain • July 26, 2023

Founded by BGDM member, Maori Karmael Holmes, BlackStar is the pinnacle of celebrating BIPOC cinema. Announcing the films by BGDM members that will be at this festival this year always feels so special!

Our staff will be attending for some quality teambuilding and festival-going. If you see us around, come say hi! We'll also be co-hosting a mixer with Nia Tero's Kin Theory on August 3rd and uniting our communities. Members can find the RSVP on Mighty Networks.

These are films you won't want to miss, so be sure to add them to your festival schedule!
