[NFBP-Talk] Black Star Film Festival featuring Audio Description

[lmarcelbryant at gmail.com]

Hey Federationist Family,

 

Apologies for the very local nature of this email but the Black Star Film
Festival kicks of this Wednesday, August 3 in Philadelphia.

This year several films will have audio description.

 

The list appears below, and I’ve attached a link to their website but will
warn you it is not very accessible and in fact is a bit annoying. If anyone
is really interested in any of the works, I’m happy to help guide you to
where to find more information on a particular film.

 

 

Have a great week!

Lisa
