This weekend, May 21 – May 24, The Dayton Black Women’s Film Festival returns to The Neon for it’s third annual year. Filmmaker and founder Ange Mitchell says that she is grateful to be able to provide a platform for Black women that wasn’t available when she was in school.
“I’m blessed to be able to create a space like this that wasn’t there when I started film school. Hopefully, other Black women who do decide to go to film school, or in this area that is Ohio with all its quirks and cool things, are able to have this space and know that they’re safe and they’re seen and they are heard and their work can be explored and celebrated right in their own backyard.”
This theme for this year’s festival is,”Black women educating through film.” The films curated for this weekend are intimate views into the stories of women from around the world and from right here in the Miami Valley…
