10th Annual Baltimore International Black Film Festival

The Baltimore International Black Film Festival (BIBFF) promotes and celebrates culturally significant films directed, produced, and staring African American and members of the African Diaspora. We also prominently feature and celebrate films with content of interest to the Same Gender Loving – Lesbian Gay Bisexual and Transgender (SGL-LGBT) community. Our mission is to couple the film festival with education, health and exhibition programs that enrich the life of Baltimore City and the greater Washington D.C., Maryland and Virginia communities.

SOGAA, Inc. (sogaa.org) is a non-profit 501(c)(3) tax exempt social / service organization founded in Baltimore by Black men who love men which is dedicated to enhancing the social, economic, physical and mental wellness of its members and community. Founded on the principles of brotherhood, leadership, activism, community, and knowledge, SOGAA is committed to collaborating with fun-loving and forward-thinking individuals and organizations regionally and globally. Our vision is to strengthen the community around the art of visual storytelling through the screening of films and discussions with filmmakers that inspire, entertain, educate, unite, and stimulate conversation among film lovers…and those conversations being enriched by the world class attributes of Baltimore City. The Baltimore International Black Film Festival is the place for industry and film lovers alike to enjoy a premier urban environment, and a one-of-a-kind cinematic and cultural experience.
