There are film festivals. There are networking events.
Then there’s Black Film Space Weekend.
BFS Weekend 2025 is our third annual large-scale conference dedicated to helping Black filmmakers grow their craft, expand their networks, and explore bold new approaches to storytelling.
This year’s theme celebrates the multi-hyphenate creative. As the film industry constantly evolves in unprecedented ways, filmmakers are facing the reality that sustaining their careers often requires the art of pivoting.
This is a hands-on, skill-building experience designed for Black filmmakers at all levels.
Over the course of one dynamic weekend, attendees will take part in immersive workshops, panels led by industry experts,
and community-driven discussions focused on the art and
craft of storytelling.
The idea of a multi-hyphenate once carried a stigma for lack of focus, but as the media landscape shifts, multi-hyphenate creatives are emerging as powerhouses with marketable skills that help them generate multiple streams of income that can navigate any industry changes.
While festivals and mixers offer exposure, opportunities for deep creative development outside of expensive academic programs are limited—and that’s where we come in.
We’re bringing together some of the most talented and generous voices in the industry to help filmmakers grow, connect, and create on their own terms.
We’ll explore what it means to build a career in which you can be celebrated for your diverse skills and offer education that can help you stay marketable as an adaptable storyteller across all areas in the industry.
Our weekend kicks off with an Opening Night Party on Friday and closes with a Logline & Pitch Competition, but what happens in between is just as powerful.
While our full schedule is still being finalized, here’s a glimpse at some of the sessions we’re planning:
Crafting the All-in-One Pitch
Directing Your Own Performance
Shooting + Directing: Scoring the Best Shot
Being a Multihyphenate in the New Filmmaking Climate
Multihyphenate Fireside Chat
Expect doors to open at 9:30 AM with programming running through the evening. Final schedule and panelists to be announced soon—stay tuned.
