Black Harvest at 32: “For Us, By Us” Programming and Black Filmmaker Discovery

Black Harvest Film Festival runs through Nov. 15, with 60 Chicago premieres and filmmaker conversations. A brief ABC7 preview adds a local audience-facing notice but little program detail; the festival’s curator jada-amina, expanded experimental work, and direct filmmaker support remain the more substantive story. Every filmmaker whose work screens receives a screening fee, with travel and lodging help where possible; the funding and sustainability of that model remain worth following.
