IBDFF 2025

 The 6th Anniversary Indianapolis Black Documentary Film Festival (IBDFF) will occur from Friday, August 15th to Sunday, August 17, 2025. This event spans three days and two venues: the Indianapolis 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 will take place on opening night. This award goes to a person who has excelled in Filmmaking. 

Who we are

 Indianapolis Black Documentary Film Festival showcases documentaries about the African American experience that inspire socially conscious cultural discourse. Our dynamic group of collaborators is committed to fostering an appreciation for documentary films by maintaining a platform for filmmakers to share their work as catalysts for meaningful dialogue.
