The 4th annual Oak Park Black Film Festival has arrived, officially kicking off today at The Guild Theater in Sacramento. Running for six exciting days, this festival isn’t just a series of film screenings; it’s a celebration of exceptional African American filmmakers. For just $20 a day, film enthusiasts can catch everything from riveting documentaries to shorts that might just tug at your heartstrings—and your funny bone.
But it gets even better! Each day features different moderators, including some well-known faces like KCRA’s Cecil Hannibal and Brandi Cummings. And guess who’s leading the charge tonight? None other than Lana Wilson Combs! But that’s not all; Olympic gold medalist Allyson Felix is set to showcase her own documentary that dives deep into her remarkable life. It’ll definitely be the one to watch, much like counting medals in the Olympics—even if you can never seem to get the gold yourself!
With VIP receptions at local restaurants and an awards ceremony wrapping things up on Sunday, this festival promises to be a highlight for Sacramento’s film community. So, what are you waiting for? Grab your tickets, settle in, and prepare for a cinematic experience that might just make you forget your chores for an evening! What’s the best film you’ve ever watched that was inspired by true events? Let’s chat about your movie magic moments in the comments!
