The Langston Hughes African American Film Festival it the Northwest's fastest growing Black Film Festival. This annual event is actually the culmination of a year's worth of community collateral-building through a series of smaller events designed to provide audiences with unique cinematic and filmmaking opportunities that result in an annual community-wide film festival held at the Langston Hughes Performing Arts Center. This annual event provides provocative films from independent Black filmmakers and works about the African American experience. The festival features panel discussions, screenplay readings, matinee screenings for middle and high school youth and in-depth chats with filmmakers, industry professionals and local community leaders.
