July 31–August 3, 2025
AFS welcomes Los Angeles’ famed Pan African Film Festival (PAFF) for its third annual Austin series, presenting a selection of the most acclaimed films from PAFF’s February festival. Established in 1992 by Hollywood veterans Danny Glover, the late Ja’Net DuBois (Good Times), and Ayuko Babu (Executive Director), the Pan African Film Festival (PAFF) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that has remained dedicated to the promotion of Black stories and images through the exhibition of film, visual art, and other creative expression. As the critically acclaimed largest Black film and arts festival and Black History Month activation in the United States, PAFF has become the quintessential global celebration of Pan-African cultures and an international beacon for the African diaspora film and arts communities.
Lineup, tickets, and festival passes will be available in late June 2025.
This project is supported in part by the City of Austin Economic Development Department and a grant from the Texas Commission on the Arts.
