The American Black Film Festival is expanding beyond its traditional event programming by launching ABFF97, a dedicated theatrical distribution arm designed to bring more independent films to cinema screens.
Through an exclusive partnership with AMC Theatres, ABFF97 will provide a commercial theatrical pathway for selected independent titles that might otherwise struggle to secure wide release.
The initiative represents a significant evolution for the festival, positioning it as an active participant in the distribution ecosystem rather than solely a showcase platform for Black cinema.
This brief draws on reporting from IndieWire.
