Day of Black Docs is an annual mini film festival that celebrates Black documentary filmmakers and their work, focusing on documentaries that center the Black experience both behind and in front of the camera. Established in 2006, it serves as a signature fundraising event for the Black Association of Documentary Filmmakers West (BADWest). The festival typically takes place in Los Angeles, often at the American Film Institute (AFI), and includes film screenings, panel discussions, and Q&As with filmmakers. The 19th annual event is scheduled for May 2026.
