BlackStar Projects has unveiled the complete schedule of events for the highly anticipated 2025 BlackStar Film Festival, set to take place from July 31 to August 3 in Philadelphia and also available for streaming online worldwide. With over 90 films from 40 different countries, this year’s lineup promises a diverse and compelling selection of independent cinema from around the globe.

One of the standout films in the festival is the North American premiere of Jenn Nkiru’s “The Great North” (2024) on the closing night. Additionally, the world premiere of “TCB – The Toni Cade Bambara School of Organizing” (2025) by Louis Massiah and Monica Henriquez will kick off the festival on opening night.

The BlackStar Film Festival is a unique event that celebrates independent cinema created by filmmakers from the global majority. It serves as a platform for connection, discussion, and education, bringing together filmmakers, industry professionals, and film enthusiasts. This year’s festival will feature special guests such as Cauleen Smith, Letitia Wright, Kevin Jerome Everson, Meg Onli, and Charles Burnett, who will engage in a conversation with David Hartt on August 3 following a screening of the 4K restoration of his acclaimed 1978 film, “Killer of Sheep.”

Tickets and passes for the festival are now available for purchase on the official BlackStar Fest website.

The opening night film, “TCB – The Toni Cade Bambara School of Organizing,” is a powerful documentary that delves into the life and work of the influential writer Toni Cade Bambara. Featuring interviews with Bambara, Toni Morrison, Nikky Finney, Haile Gerima, and others, the film explores Bambara’s impact on cultural and political movements in the 20th century.

Another special screening to look forward to is “BLKNWS: Terms & Conditions” (2025) directed by Khalil Joseph. This genre-bending documentary, inspired by Joseph’s video art installation, offers a unique cinematic experience with a captivating soundscape that incorporates guest artists across 21 tracks.

“Closing Night Film” will showcase “The Great North” (2024) by Jenn Nkiru, a meditative feature that explores the connections between architecture and the human body. Through a blend of new footage and archive material, the film delves into the history of Black music, Afro-surrealism, experimental film, and the Black arts movement, paying homage to the people and culture that shape a city.
