After a pandemic virtual-festival hiatus, the Denton Black Film Festival is back bigger than ever.
The DBFF art, in all its forms, is meant to spark conversation, inclusion, and empathy.
"We get about 20 to 22% of our audience that's not Black, which is really good...they call us a 'safe haven'. They say I can come and talk about things like race, 'cause no one really likes to talk about race," Eaddy said."And some of them are challenging because we may not agree, but at least we're able to have the conversation."
The Denton Black Film Festival opens Wednesday night with an art exhibit, 'E=S, Existence Equals Survival' at the UNT COLAB. Artists featured are Okoro Simon Peter, YNG, Inyang Essien, Jennifer Monet Cowley, and William Toliver."Just try to figure out how we can help build bridges," Eaddy said. The Denton Black Film Festival runs through January 29 in-person, and from January 29 through February 5 virtually.
