Pan African Film & Arts Festival Relocates Los Angeles Headquarters

After 10 Years, Festival Leaves the Baldwin Hills Crenshaw Plaza

The Pan African Film and Arts Festival (PAFF), America’s largest and most prestigious Black film and arts festival, has moved its Los Angeles headquarters from the Baldwin Hills Crenshaw Plaza to 6820 Latijera Boulevard Suite 200 Los Angeles, CA 90045.

Our new phone number is 310.337.4737 and the fax number is 310.337.4736.

For more information, please visit www.paff.org

Currently wrapping up film submissions for its 18th Annual signature event taking place February 10-15, 2010 in Los Angeles, the PAFF was established in 1992 as a non-profit corporation dedicated to the promotion of cultural and racial tolerance and understanding through the exhibition of film, art and creative expression.

It is PAFF’s goal to present and showcase the broad spectrum of Black creative works, particularly those that reinforce positive images and help to destroy negative stereotypes. We believe film and art can lead to better understanding and foster communication between peoples of diverse cultures, races, and lifestyles, while at the same time, serve as a vehicle to initiate dialogue on the important issues of our times.
