Thank you for making the 31st Annual Black Harvest Film Festival such a success! For 10 days, we came together to celebrate Black voices, stories, and creativity at the Gene Siskel Film Center of the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. We presented more than 70 Chicago premiere films, 50 filmmakers in person, and a host of special events and parties to commemorate our 31st year of showcasing the best in Black cinema.
