"Our aim is to give young black people a space where they feel seen and understood, with key themes like adolescence and sexual identity being prominent in our chosen films. Our festival’s priority is to allow our audience to feel represented and seen in romantic, personal and familial relationships, as well as highlight the joy and self-discovery that comes with the beauty of relationships." - Jessica, Young Programmer
