Langston Hughes Performing Arts Center, The Black Film Festival and the City of Seattle

The City of Seattle's Langston Hughes African American Film Festival recently completed a very successful 8th season. This year marked the emergence of a very visible branding by the City of Seattle and is now enthusiastically accepted by the City as one of the jewels in the City's Arts community.


The festival is but one of the many outstanding programs this institution is presenting to the Seattle Arts Community and is rightfully so assuming it's position along with other Seattle Arts institutions as a major reason why Seattle is looked at as an unparalleled Arts City. This recognition did not come easy and it is still a challenge to maintain this reputation, especially in the face of resistance from those who will say that ART not based in the European Diaspora does not have the same level of "scholarship" as ART that is steeped in European culture.


Next year this festival will return to it's very beautiful and newly remodeled building on the corner of 17th and Yesler. This is the epicenter of not only Black Culture in Seattle, it is the spiritual center of the community from which this art emerges as well.


Looking forward to the day when we can say, "Welcome home".

Black Independent Film Festival

Seattle's Black Film Festival or also know as the Langston Hughes African American Film Festival is one of the best in the country.  There is nothing like it!  Go and support it.
