BEFF is BACK!

Festival Date: September 17-19, 2009

The 2008 Black Earth Film Festival was a great time and we want to thank all of the people who came out to our different venues and enjoyed the festival with us. But this year will be even better. Even BEFFier?

The BEFF Film Committee is already working to provide our loyal patrons and newcomers to the BEFF experience with an even more improved festival in 2009. Look for new films and new venues and maybe some real surprises.

Check back here or our BLOG for updates and scheduling information.
