The cogent blurb on the MFA site devoted to this festival<\/a> puts it succinctly:
\nThis is the largest New England film festival dedicated to celebrating films by, for, and about people of color.<\/em><\/p>\n

The festival <\/a>, now in its sixteenth year, takes place at the Museum of Fine Arts and at Haley House in Roxbury over the course of five days. (Venues<\/a>)<\/p>\n

Thirty films of varying length are included. <\/p>\n

The festival opens at the MFA on Wednesday, June 25 at 7:00pm with The Life and Crimes of Doris Payne<\/em> (2013), a documentary by Kirk Marcolina and Matthew Pond about a poor, single, African-American mother, now an elegant 83 year old, who was a notorious jewel thief. The directors will be present at this event.<\/p>\n
