Virtual Worldwide
Pan African Film Festival
30th Anniversary
Normally, the Cinemark Theater at Baldwin Hills Crenshaw would be the place to be this weekend for the annual Pan African Film Festival. Due to the pandemic, the in-person event is virtual experience temporarily.
When you visit the Pan African Film Festival website, you will find an extensive list of domestic and foreign films, among them the story of poet and civil rights activist Maya Angelou selected as presidential poet at the 1993 inauguration of President Bill Clinton.
And, last month Maya Angelou was honored as the first Black women to appear on the U.S. quarter. The Pan African Film Festival documents Angelou’s incredible life. Maya Angelou’s story is among more than two dozen films now available on the Pan African Film Festival website, now through the end of the month.
