The mission of the San Antonio Black International Film Festival (SABIFF) is to showcase quality films, advocate for, and support filmmakers of African descent. We expose and educate audiences to the myriad of stories, subject matters, voices, perspectives, and diverse images of Black people throughout the global Diaspora that have been historically under-represented.
