35 Years.
Still Defining the Moment.
For 35 years, PAFF has served as both a cultural platform and a living archive — a place where Black stories from around the world are not only showcased, but celebrated, protected and passed forward.
Founded in 1992 by Danny Glover, the late Ja’Net DuBois and Ayuko Babu, PAFF is the largest Black film and arts festival — and Black History Month activation — in the United States.
