Support the independent voice of Dallas and help keep the future of Dallas Observer free.
Now in its tenth year, the Dallas Black Film Festival is focused on a major celebration the weekend of August 24 to 26. They've just confirmed this year's guest speaker will be former Public Enemy member and current Illuminati conspiracy theorist, second degree black belt Professor Griff.
What Griff will talk about when he emerges from his secret dwelling -- well, only he knows, but it will likely touch on the theme of this year's fest, Blaxsploitation.
There will be an independent film contest, a children's film fest, a black movie poster showcase, memorabilia and a dissection of the Blaxsploitation genre, through past, present and future. DBFF will be held at The Act of Change Institute of Cultural Arts (3200 S. Lancaster Rd., suite 623), and at the Pan-African Connection (828 Fourth Ave.). Tickets range from $2 to $25.

Keep the Dallas Observer Free... Since we started the Dallas Observer, it has been defined as the free, independent voice of Dallas, and we would like to keep it that way. Offering our readers free access to incisive coverage of local news, food and culture. Producing stories on everything from political scandals to the hottest new bands, with gutsy reporting, stylish writing, and staffers who've won everything from the Society of Professional Journalists' Sigma Delta Chi feature-writing award to the Casey Medal for Meritorious Journalism. But with local journalism's existence under siege and advertising revenue setbacks having a larger impact, it is important now more than ever for us to rally support behind funding our local journalism. You can help by participating in our "I Support" membership program, allowing us to keep covering Dallas with no paywalls.
