On a recent episode of We Live In Color, host Deaunte Damper sat down with Taylor Freeman, the program manager for the historic Seattle Black Film Festival, to discuss the festival's return this weekend and the importance of supporting Black art.

Surge Reproductive Justice, led by Executive Director Jackie Vaughn, and My Time for Massage recently hosted a screening of the documentary “The Ebony Canal” at Rainier Arts Center to commemorate Black Maternal Health Week.

It’s that time of year again. The energy in the Central District is shifting toward something truly special, because we are officially in the countdown to a cultural anchor in the Pacific Northwest: The Seattle Black Film Festival (SBFF).

Scope Screenings, a monthly independent film festival, has cemented its place as a vital cornerstone of Seattle’s arts ecosystem. Last month, the festival brought together a variety of filmmakers, musicians, and creatives to showcase their short-form content on the big screen. With pride in their people and expression, the local creatives and team members revealed a profound dedication to community, artistic growth, and powerful storytelling.

Scope Screenings hosted Queen of the Screen, the September edition of the underground film festival, and a dynamic event celebrating women in film. The fourth episode of the fourth season took place at the Langston Hughes Performing Arts Institute in the Central District, a venue packed with historical and cultural significance for Seattle’s Black community.
