The ABFF Global London x Soul Film Festival was a huge success, and we're proud to have partnered with Sony Pictures Entertainment to shine a spotlight on Black British filmmakers making significant contributions to the industry. A highlight of the event was the exclusive screening of two episodes from Mr. Loverman, the upcoming series premiering on BBC this fall as well Jimmy Akingbola receiving the 2024 Impact Award. In addition to our time in London, we were honored to bring our work to Birmingham, United Kingdom where we shared a selection of short films with a dedicated audience of film enthusiasts. As we continue expanding our reach globally, the success of this festival reflects the power of storytelling across borders. Now, our focus shifts back to the U.S. as we gear up for the second annual Because They’re Funny Comedy Festival, happening in 18 days in Washington, DC. We look forward to delivering another exceptional event filled with great performances and unforgettable moments. Thank you to all of our partners, supporters, and the creative talents who make these events possible. #NICECROWD #ABFFGlobal #SonyPictures #SPE #Soulfest2024 #BecauseTheyreFunny #FilmFestivals #ComedyFestivals

“We want you to feel better about your blackness when you leave, than when you came in the building.” - @jefffriday Last night’s 2024 ABFF Honors was a luminous celebration of Black excellence, radiating Black joy and hope throughout. With Tommy Davidson steering the evening with his dynamic hosting, and Andra Day’s opening performance setting the stage alight, the tone was set for an unforgettable night. We were honored with the presence of stellar presentees including Issa Rae, Wendell Pierce, Gina Prince-Bythewood, Tyrese, Leslie Jones, and Lamorne Morris, who added their unique brilliance to the festivities. Our esteemed 2024 honorees - Mara Brock Akil, Taraji P. Henson, Jeffrey Wright, Kelvin Harrison Jr., and Garrett Morris - were the embodiment of excellence, inspiring us all with their achievements and contributions. Immense gratitude to our sponsors @cadillac , @amazonstudios, and @fultonfilmsga; your support was pivotal in bringing this magical night to life. Stay tuned for more recaps, pictures, and videos from an evening that will be cherished and remembered for its celebration of culture, achievement, and community.
