AfroSouth Film Festival

Event Details

AfroSouth 2023 will offer an eclectic mix of cultural experiences, including a free outdoor movie
screening at Marion Square. This years featured film is "Hidden Figures" starring the brilliant
Taraji P. Henson, a compelling and inspirational story that celebrates the achievements of
African-American women in the early days of the space program.

Kicking off the festivities is a screening and engaging discussion of SCETV's documentary
"Downing of a Flag." This documentary delves into the pivotal events that led to the removal of
the Confederate flag from the statehouse, a significant moment in South Carolina's history that
reflects the ongoing struggle for racial justice and equality.

competition, generously sponsored by the SC Film Office. This competition provides an

reinforcing AfroSouth's commitment to nurturing and promoting young voices in the industry.
