About this happenin

The Pan African Film & Arts Festival is a February film festival and open-air art market in Los Angeles that the organiser bills as the largest Black film and arts festival in the United States. Danny Glover, the late Ja'Net DuBois and Ayuko Babu founded it in 1992. More than 200 new Black films from the U.S., Africa, the Caribbean and beyond screen at venues that have included The Culver Theater in Culver City and Cinemark Baldwin Hills Crenshaw XD, and the festival qualifies short films for the Academy Awards. ArtFest, held at Baldwin Hills Crenshaw Plaza, puts more than 100 artists in one place, showing paintings, ceramics, textiles, jewelry and wearable art shaped by Africa and its diaspora.
