The 4th Annual Dirty Popcorn Black Film Festival is presented by Jet Phynx and hosted and sponsored by the Delaware Art Museum. We’re excited to announce that this year’s festival will be a full two-day experience (August 9 &10), each day offering something unique for filmmakers and film lovers alike. The festival honors filmmakers of color from Delaware and beyond, with a mission to preserve and uplift local Black cinema. This year’s immersive experience celebrates “The Camera”, a tribute to how film and photography have transformed the way we see and share stories. So grab your popcorn and join us for two days of history, creativity, and celebration!
Day 2
Day two is all about the films. This will be a dedicated open film run in the Museum’s Auditorium, providing a relaxed, theater-style experience where attendees can come and enjoy back-to-back screenings. It’s the perfect space for filmmakers to shine, and for audiences to sit back, relax, and be transported by the art of cinema. A full show run schedule–listing all films and their time slots–will be provided soon.
