The Black Film Summit

The Black Film Summit is a film festival the looks to provide our audience and community with films that Engage, Entertain, Enlighten, and Educate as we come together out of love for film and the culture. The 5th year of TBFS will take place February 28, 2026 and this year TBFS will convene at the Hampton Inn-Yorkville, Illinois.

The Black Film Summit is dedicated to creating a welcoming environment for filmmakers across the Pan African diaspora to gather, be heard, and have their work showcased. We strive to give the African American community and its allies a safe space where they can enjoy, converse, and celebrate independent films featuring people of color.

Info: The Movies have concluded, now it is time to find out who will take home this year's coveted top prizes in Best Feature Film, Best Short Film, Best Documentary, Best ensembles, and Best Performances.
