The IBFF is assisting artists in implementing a tradition in social responsiblility and, modifying cultural variables with increased knowlege and exposure by using "film as a tool of social change". Since 2002 we've contributed to the development of the unique human being by providing information in visual form that is followed by discussion. We screen films on history, important social topics and not-traditional points of view. We are addressing the problems of the 21st Century, see, also, www.blackfilmfestival.net, http://ibff.PhotosNYC.com.
