In 2025, the National Association of Black Journalists (NABJ) will commemorate its 50th anniversary. This milestone presents an opportune moment for the organization to share its illustrious history and vision for the future through a documentary titled “Beyond the Headlines: The NABJ Journey.”Chrisman BluesDirected by Ted Fisher (USA, 2024, 12:20 mins). Cleveland, Mississippi was the last American city to desegregate. Chrisman Avenue is a three-mile long road about a half mile from Cleveland's downtown. Once the center of a thriving Black Business District, Chrisman has seen decades of history and cultural change, but now sits nearly forgotten. Five graduates of East Side High School tell us their memories of Chrisman and their thoughts on the history they have lived through.Redline Narratives: The Lost Cultural Hubs of BostonDirected by Marlon P Solomon (USA, 2025, 40:46 mins). Funded by the Mass Humanities Expanding Stories Grant, Redline Narratives: Lost Cultural Hubs of Boston is the first installment of a two-part documentary series uncovering the 60-year cycle of displacement in Boston. This installment provides the most comprehensive look at how redlining, urban renewal, and transit infrastructure have systematically erased and displaced cultural communities—beginning in the 1850s North End, then moving through the West End, Lower Roxbury/South End, Dorchester, and Mattapan.Never CriedDirected by Emily Judem and Stephanie Leydon (USA, 2024, 23:25)In September, 1974 – two days after her 14th birthday – Leola Hampton boarded a school bus that would launch her into the heart of one of the most divisive and defining moments in Boston history: court-ordered school desegregation. She and her older sister, Linda Starks-Walker, were bused from their home in the predominantly Black neighborhood of Roxbury into the white, working-class neighborhood of South Boston. They navigated a violent and virulently racist high school experience so scarring that a half-century later, they are only now beginning to discuss it with each other. ‘Never Cried’: Boston’s Busing Legacy - a short documentary from GBH News - examines how this trauma has been passed to younger generations, and what this means for the future of a city that, like Leola and Linda, is still healing 50 years after the busing crisis.The BrunchMade possible by Mass Design Group, Boston Center for the Arts, and GBH. (USA, 10:00 mins). The short documentary revisits the life and times of Mel King. Originally produced as a eulogy for his home-going ceremony in 2023, The Brunch sets out to reignite Mel’s legacy of movement, agency, and creativity across Boston, and eventually – the world.

                "description": "The Roxbury International Film Festival is the largest festival in New England that celebrates people of color. Over the course of 10 days the festival screens all genres of films, holds workshops and panel discussions and offers filmmakers the opportunity to network with each other as well as audience members. Screenings take place at the Museum of Fine Arts, Haley House Bakery Café, Hibernian Hall, and other sites in and around Roxbury. The Roxbury International Film Festival is a competitive festival that awards certificates in the categories of Audience Favorite, Narrative Film, Documentary Film, Narrative Short, Documentary Short, Youth, Emerging Filmmaker Award and a special award named after award-winning filmmaker Henry Hampton. Our goal is simply to screen films that celebrate and present more diverse images of people around the world.For years, filmmakers, distributors, and film enthusiasts wondered why Boston, one of the largest metropolitan areas on the east coast, lacked a vehicle that supported independent films of color or that showcased diverse experiences of people of color throughout the world. The primary motivation behind the creation of The Roxbury International Film Festival (formerly known as the Dudley Film Festival) in 1999 was to provide this important opportunity. Started with a five thousand dollar grant to ACT Roxbury (no longer in existence) the film festival was born.That was 25 years ago and our passion for film and filmmakers has sustained us all these years.  We are a Black, women-led and volunteer-run festival and we could not do this without the support of sponsors, filmmakers, and the audiences who appreciate these independent films - these incredible stories - as much as we do. Now as we enter our 26th year (2024), the Roxbury International Film Festival continues to showcase and honor the works of emerging filmmakers of color as well as established filmmakers, and has become the largest festival in New England dedicated to this genre. Since its inception, the festival has welcomed over 40,000 attendees, screening more than 750 films. Our mission is to support diverse filmmakers by providing an opportunity for audiences to view their works and experience the stories often overlooked in mainstream media."
