Black Alphabet Film Festival

What began as a conversation about the lack of exposure of films that explore the Black LGBTQ experience birthed the Black Alphabet Film Festival (BAFF), Chicago’s first Black LGBTQ film festival. Since its inception in 2013, BAFF works to encourage storytelling, cultivate new dialogues and educate communities about the cultural and social contributions that Black LGBTQ-identified people have made upon the world.

This is the official mobile application for BAFF and is a comprehensive guide to our annual film festival including movies, screening events, previews, places to stay and more.
