BronzeLens Film Festival, now in its 11th year, will take place virtually Tuesday, August 11 – Sunday, August 16, 2020 in light of the COVID-19 global pandemic. “BronzeLens: The Virtual Experience” will continue the festival’s unwavering commitment to showcase films created by or about people of color that empower, entertain, and educate, giving attendees the extraordinary opportunity to see the work of some the world’s brightest filmmakers.

Over 75 official selections including shorts, features, documentaries, short documentaries, music videos, and webisodes from an international cadre of filmmakers will be screened representing the United States, Belgium, Israel, Canada, Jamaica, New Zealand, Pakistan, Poland, South Africa, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom.

BronzeLens 2020 will be an amalgam of industry panels, master classes conducted by leading professionals, the festival’s highly anticipated Sunday Brunch with the Brothers, The BronzeLens Awards Show and its distinctive Cinema and Social Justice Sunday. Virtual mixers and nightly after parties with guest DJs have been added to the festival’s event offerings.
