IBDFF 2024

The 5th Anniversary Indianapolis Black Documentary Film Festival (IBDFF) will take place on Friday, August 23rd - Sunday August 25th, 2024. This summer's event spans three days and two venues: The Indy Art Center and the Kan-Kan Cinema & Restaurant.

From historical figures to social justice movements, and personal journeys to artistic expression, these documentaries offer a window into the rich tapestry of Black life.  The Spotlight Award ceremony for Pemon Rami  will take place opening night.
