🎬The 28th annual Black Harvest Film Festival (filmcenter) is a month-long celebration of films across the African diaspora. This year is dedicated to Sergio Mims–a co-founder of the festival, who passed away early last month. | Maxwell Rabb 👇
But this year, the monthlong celebration differs from the previous 27, following the death of beloved cofounder Sergio Mims, who passed away in October at 67. The 2022 festival will serve as a tribute to Mims’s cinematic legacy, featuring an impressive lineup that includes 19 feature films, four short film programs, and more than 15 filmmaker and cast appearances.
“Opening Night celebration feels like a reunion each year, and is an exciting and joyful kickoff to the entire festival—complete with award presentations, short film screenings, and a reception,” de St. Aubin says. “It is my favorite day of the year at the Gene Siskel Film Center.” “Sergio’s great enthusiasm and his overwhelming, populist embrace of Black film in all its manifestations are the things that I believe will endure in the spirit of the festival,” Scharres says, sharing Mims’s role in Chicago film. “Black Harvest continues to be a festival that makes wide-ranging selections, and is exceptionally open to considering the work of first-time filmmakers and those in the early stages of their careers.
