ActNow Foundation is pleased to present the 2nd annual New Voices in Black Cinema Festival, in conjunction with BAMcinematek and the office of NYC Council Member Letitia James.

The Festival returns to BAM Rose Cinemas during Black History Month, February 16-20, with features, documentaries, and short film screenings by today's most dynamic independent filmmakers, as well as workshops, panel discussions, and after parties.
