TPAFF hosts documentary films from Toronto’s Black Film world, whose films center around African Liberation, Spirituality, Black displacement and exploitation. TPAFF centers and anchors Toronto based Black filmmakers and offers another exciting platform for black filmmakers to connect with a captivating Toronto based audience.

Our 2nd season is about HER stories are either told by “HER” or about “HER”. Stories that celebrate the Black woman and her place in the world of beauty, sports, civil actions and her social relationships.
