Due the closures brought on by COVID-19, or the novel coronavirus, pandemic, many major events have been forced to cancel or postpone until next year.
The American Black Film Festival (ABFF) was started 1997 as a way to strengthen the black entertainment community and provide a platform for emerging artists often ignored on mainstream platforms.
The film festival is usually held in Miami Beach, Florida, and typically attracts 7,000 to 10,000 attendees.
It was announced this week that the 24th annual American Black Film Festival (ABFF) will take place online August 21-30, 2020.
The online show will continue all of the traditions of the live festival while highlighting the best independent filmmakers out today in addition to conversations and panels surrounding different topics in film as well as virtual networking events.
