Halifax Black Film Festival

The Halifax Black Film Festival is an annual film festival in Halifax, Nova Scotia. Held in late February or early March each year, the festival programs a selection of African, Caribbean, African American and Black Canadian films.

The festival was launched in 2017 by Fabienne Colas. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic the festival was staged online in 2021 and 2022, before returning to theatres in 2023.

The festival's projects have included Being Black in Halifax, a program which commissions short films by emerging black filmmakers from Halifax, screening them in a dedicated program at the festival before they are aired on CBC Television as a documentary series.
