The American Black Film Festival (ABFF), originally known as the Acapulco Black Film Festival, is an independent film festival dedicated to showcasing Black film and works by Black members of the film industry. Founded in 1997 by Jeff Friday, Byron E. Lewis, and Warrington Hudlin, its primary aim was to create a platform for "Black Hollywood" to network, collaborate, and celebrate Black cinema. The festival is held annually in Miami, Florida, and features films, documentaries, and web series with Black writers, directors, and actors. Beyond screenings, ABFF also includes seminars, workshops, and networking opportunities to strengthen the skills and connections of Black filmmakers, actors, and screenwriters.
