2015 San Francisco Black Film Festival | Fillmore Dist.
The San Francisco Black Film Festival will celebrate its 17th anniversary, June 11-14, 2015.
The festival celebrates African American cinema and the African cultural diaspora and showcases a diverse collection of films – from emerging and established filmmakers.
Every year a few events and screenings are presented free to the public.
Catch a free screening of a Premier Documentary about Mac Dre and the Hyphy movement he created. Bay Area rapper Mac Dre began his career at 18 and quickly became an influential force in early west coast hip-hop.
In 1992 he was convicted of conspiracy to commit bank robbery when his lyrics were used against him in court. He left prison with a new lease on life, founded an independent record company, and then was murdered just when he began to emerge as a star. For the first time ever, his mother Wanda reveals the true experiences of a hip-hop legend.
