Montreal, August 29, 2019 \u2013 The Fabienne Colas Foundation\u2019s Youth & Diversity program\u2019s project, 2018\/2019 Being Black in Canada will have its World Premiere on Wednesday, September 25 at 7PM at Cinema du Parc. This project\u2019s first edition was born in 2014 in Montreal and evolved in 2019 across 3 major Canadian cities (Montreal, Toronto and Halifax), with the generous support of the Canadian Council for the Arts, in collaboration with the Montreal Intl Black Film Festival (MIBFF), the Toronto Black Film Festival (TBFF) and the Halifax Black Film Festival (HBFF).<\/p>\n

Filmmakers addressed the issue of social integration of people from black communities in Canada through films. The 15 films will be presented as world premiere via 3 screenings followed by talks to discuss the socio-economic issues and black realities in cinema and society, particularly their respective provinces and share possible solutions for better inclusion of black youth in the community.<\/p>\n

\u201cBeing Black in Canada\u201d enabled 15 young filmmakers, aged 18 to 30, from the black communities of Montreal, Toronto and Halifax to create 15 documentary shorts of 8 to 10 minutes each. The 15 promising filmmakers were guided through the many steps in audiovisual production (screenwriting, directing, editing, post-production, etc.) and creation of a documentary short (maximum 10 minutes). This process was carried out under the professional tutelage of industry professionals with professional equipment.<\/p>\n

About the Montreal International Black Film Festival (MIBFF)
\nCreated in 2005 by the Fabienne Colas Foundation, the Montreal International Black Film Festival (MIBFF) is currently the largest Canadian film festival entirely dedicated to black realities from all four corners of the world. It aims to offer the public the most spectacular productions in black cinema and debate the great cultural, social, and socio-economic issues facing society. The MIBFF goal is to promote the development of the independent film industry and showcase more films depicting black realities around the world. The festival seeks to prioritize local and international films that do not necessarily come under the spotlight, a new cinema that moves its audience and raises awareness – and a few eyebrows. In so doing, the MIBFF addresses issues and showcases art that makes you think and smile, provokes, bewilders, and shocks you – a new, fresh look at black cinema from all parts of the globe! www.montrealblackfilm.com
