2025 Film Festival 

Continuing our celebration of Black History Month, the Institute on Black Life will be hosting a Festival of Films and inaugurating the IBL Film Series. The IBL Film Series encourages 无码专区 students and community members to meet local filmmakers and become empowered to develop their own works of creative storytelling. Join us on Friday, February 28, 2025, as we screen the works of multiple independent filmmakers of both short- and long-form content and their explorations of Black life in the Tampa Bay region and beyond. The Festival of Films will include live discussions with the filmmakers and free lunch with registration.
