Capital City Black Film Festival

The Capital City Black Film Festival (CCBFF) was an Austin festival of Black independent film that called itself the city's only Black film festival. It took narrative and documentary features, shorts, animation and music videos from Black filmmakers around the world and added special events. It returned in 2018 after a year off, held its eighth festival online December 4–6, 2020, and ran its ninth, a first hybrid edition with more than 80 films planned, December 3–5, 2021. No later edition was found, and by 2024 its web address showed unrelated content, so it is treated as defunct.
