#bsff21

#TBT I figured today was as good as any to share some of my favorite memories/photos from @blackstarfest #BSFF21. As you can imagine, there are A LOT of photos, so I wanted these to best tell the story of the festival and the many events that happened each day. As always it was a great time and I’m already looking forward to #BSFF22, evident by photos 9 & 10 lol. 📸 1-8: me, 9: (I need his name ASAP), 10: @carmenlobue (at BlackStar Film Festival) https://www.instagram.com/p/CTnYKcWLF3Q/?utm_medium=tumblr

If you're traveling to or from Philadelphia through the @phl_airport, Terminal A East specifically, check out the @blackstarfest Projects exhibition happening from 7/29/21 until 7/29/22 that commemorates the 10 year anniversary of the festival. A lot of my photos from my years as festival photographer from 2017 through 2020 are displayed along with the great work of the other photographers who proceeded my time there, as well as stills from some of the movies. BlackStar 2021 is starting this Wednesday and I can't wait to get more photos in this year and to connect with the family again 🙂. Visit their page to download the digital version of the program or come get one in person. See y’all there! #blackstarfilmfestival #bsff21 #blackstar10 #byindiemeansnecessary #phlairport #phlairportart (at Philadelphia International Airport) https://www.instagram.com/p/CSGGZhzrxgp/?utm_medium=tumblr
