Fade to Black
Issa Black Philly Film Festival
Fade to Black: Issa Black Philly Film Fest is an annual film festival occurring every February showcasing the works of local Black Filmmakers of all levels, experiences, and styles.
This year’s theme is Contemporary Nostalgia. New things that remind us of our past. Where we came from. Or our favorite movie as a kid. It’s like when someone samples an old song for a new track. Or watching reruns on a streaming platform. Bell bottoms. Crocs. Stranger Things. X-Men. Contemporary Nostalgia examines the things that make us, US. The definition is up to the interpretation of the Artist and we can’t wait to see what you think!
