HISTORY upRISING! is more than a theme.

It’s about who gets to tell our stories, how those stories are preserved, and why Black history deserves to be seen with truth, depth, and care. 🎬

Through film, SABIFF 2026 creates space for stories that preserve cultural memory, challenge distortion, amplify underrepresented voices, and center Black perspectives.
