Black Horror Film Festival In Los
Angeles Celebrates POC Filmmakers,
Directors
Globally acclaimed actor, producer, and composer, Tsalta Baptiste,
announces the launch of the first-ever Black Horror Film Festival on
October 28 to 29.
The event seeks to elevate Black
voices in the film industry by
showcasing how people of color
view horror and interpret their
fears.
The festival is a provocative
movement that reflects the
Black experience like no other,
for good or for ill.  
With the slogan “For us, by
us,”, Baptiste hopes to
inspire young filmmakers of
olor to explore their
creativity. 
The film festival gives
back power to Black
filmmakers and Black
characters. 
The earliest Black horror films date
as far back as the 1960s, when
Duane Jones successfully fought
back against a horde of zombies in
the “Night of the Living Dead”. 
Unfortunately, Duane was
killed by a lynch mob at the
end, even though he was the
hero for most of the film.
