DBFF Opening Reception is currently postponed due to DISD remaining closed on Wednesday, Jan. 28. Updates from the Festival to follow soon.

Join us as we celebrate the opening of the 12th Edition of the Denton Black Film Festival in continued partnership with the Denton Independent School District for its Annual Adopt-A-School Art & Essay Awards. For the third year in a row, 4th and 5th grade students across Denton ISD share original artwork and essays (in English or Spanish) inspired by a shared theme.

This year’s focus, Hope & Courage, invites reflection on belief, resilience, and the strength to move forward in challenging times. Experience how these young voices creatively express what hope and courage mean to them.
