Creative freedom is the cornerstone of every great work. Imagination, passion, impulse, study, people and places merge together and evolve into this special world. In this world, artists of all genres create, thrive, struggle and celebrate together. At IBFF, they call it “The Creativerse” (pronounced create-ti-verse). This year’s festival theme is The Creativerse: your universe without limitation.

The International Black Film Festival (IBFF), based in Nashville, TN, opened its doors in the fall of 2006, as a 501 (c) 3 nonprofit organization. A pioneer in the film festival arena, IBFF is the only African-American established and inspired film festival in the state of Tennessee. IBFF’s mission is to “Encourage culturally accurate depictions of all people in film with special emphasis on providing a forum of access for underserved and unheard voices as well as to showcase the artistically rich creativity and diversity found around the globe.”
