Black Bottom Film Festival

Friday, February 24, 2017

The Black Bottom Film Festival, occurring at the August Wilson Center this weekend, will feature age-old classics to contemporary independent Black Cinema. The showcased films in the festival will parallel the reoccurring themes of spirituality, family conflict, race and working class struggle that serve as the foundation of August Wilson’s award winning and internationally renowned “Pittsburgh Cycle” plays. The festival will also examine and discuss how filmmakers try to use art to uplift and confront, and have impact on American culture.
