Virginia Black
Film Festival:

Celebrate Black Stories

June 19-22, 2025, HAMPTON, VIRGINIA

The Virginia Black Film Festival celebrates its second year as a partnership with the City of Hampton with over 60 films in competition, accomplished guest speakers, and a co-located Black Business Expo designed to make Black filmmakers and Black entrepreneurs more visible and accessible to the community and to each other. 

VBFF is a family-friendly community event with several events which are free and open to the public, including a Juneteenth Beach Party (Paradise Ocean Club) , a Juneteenth Concert, a Black Business Expo and other networking events.  Proceeds from this year’s event support scholarships for HBCU students through the Black Arts Foundation (501c3) which has established a $50K scholarship endowment for Hampton University Students in the Arts.
