PAFF’s Mission

Established in 1992, The Pan African Film Festival (PAFF) is a non-profit 501(c)(3) corporation dedicated to the promotion of cultural understanding among peoples of African descent. PAFF is dedicated to racial tolerance through the exhibition of film, art and creative expression. It is PAFF’s goal to present and showcase the broad spectrum of Black creative works, particularly those that reinforce positive images and help destroy negative stereotypes. We believe film and art can lead to better understanding and foster communication between peoples of diverse cultures, races, and lifestyles, while at the same time serve as a vehicle to initiate dialogue on the important issues of our times.

A warm and HUGE THANK YOU to the PAFF jury for selecting this film.

Generation WOW! 2018

Lana was proud to be a part of Generation Wow 2018 as a speaker in November. She had such a great time! GenWOW is a wonderful event… all girls should have the chance to go and participate. She’s thankful for the opportunity and urges all girls in Jacksonville to get involved! Special thanks to Angela Spears and Kali Freeland.

DUUUVAL Premier of Astronaut Starbright Documentary

Alright! This is it! Here’s the DUUUVAL Premier of the Astronaut Starbright documentary.

Thanks to supporters like Antonio Allegretti and Sara Roberts who’ve donated time and space to help screen the film in Lana’s hometown of Jacksonville, Florida. There’s no words to express how grateful she is for their time, support, and encouragement.

So plan on coming to Art Walk this NOVEMBER (2018) to see everything they have to offer… including the Astronaut Starbright documentary by Lana!! This is a great event. If you haven’t been there before or aren’t familiar… Art Walk is the FIRST WEDNESDAY of the month, every month, in Jacksonville, Florida. This year, on November 7th (when our film will be playing), will mark the 15th Anniversary of the event. Viewing the film is FREE TO THE PUBLIC! Bring your family, friends, and acquaintances… Lana and Taylor will be there too.

There will be panel discussions in addition to the screening, see you there!
