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 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.

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.

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. 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.

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.
