The Pan African Film & Arts Festival (PAFF) is a non-profit organization established in 1992 by Hollywood veterans Danny Glover, the late Ja'Net DuBois, and Ayuko Babu. Dedicated to promoting cultural and racial tolerance and understanding, PAFF showcases Black stories and images through film, visual art, and other creative expressions. Held annually in Los Angeles, it is recognized as the largest Black film and arts festival and Black History Month activation in the United States, bringing together filmmakers and artists from over 40 countries. The festival screens over 200 new high-quality Black films and is an Oscar-qualifying festival for the Academy Awards in several short film categories.
