Emagine Entertainment is saddened to announce that the Juneteenth Film Festival to benefit the United Negro College Fund (UNCF) has been indefinitely postponed.
The film festival was originally planned to begin Friday, June 19th with 100% of net ticket proceeds benefiting UNCF.
Emagine Royal Oak, the intended Michigan host venue for the festival, is located at 200 N. Main Street in Royal Oak at the corner of 11 Mile and Main.
Four days after news of the event was brought to the attention of state officials, Emagine’s Chairman, Paul Glantz, was today served at his home with a letter from the Attorney General’s office advising that it would bring criminal charges against him if he proceeded with the film festival as planned.
Mr. Glantz further noted “To our friends at UNCF, we continue to believe in the benefits this Film Festival can bring to the community.
