Detroit Black Film Festival 2025: A Premier Celebration of Black Cinema

Each fall, the Detroit Black Film Festival (DBFF) transforms Southeast Michigan into a buzzing hub for filmmakers and movie lovers. From September 25–28, film enthusiasts from across the country are invited to experience one of the nation’s top showcases dedicated to Black creative voices, groundbreaking storytelling, and next-level cultural festivities.

Now in its sixth year, DBFF has earned its place as a must-attend destination on the festival circuit—screening 72 dynamic films from 30 countries, representing the most exciting and authentic voices in Black cinema today. Whether viewers seek bold documentaries or inventive dramas, the festival offers a spectrum of fresh perspectives and cinematic excellence that resonates well beyond Detroit’s borders. Attendees come not only to watch films but also to join vital, in-depth discussions with filmmakers and storytellers who are shaping the cultural narrative. 

“The DBFF serves as a vital platform for Black voices in cinema, and we can’t wait to share these powerful films with our audiences,” says Marshalle Favors, co-founder of Trinity Films Entertainment Group. Lazar Favors, co-founder, adds, “Our events mirror Detroit’s hustle and determination. It’s about elevating the narrative and rewriting the rules.”

Festivalgoers can also explore the renowned “Taste of Black Spirits” Collective Behavior Tour, a one-of-a-kind event pairing the festival’s bold cinematic lineup with premium Black-owned spirits from across the U.S., featuring over 100 brands and expert mixologists.
