CineNOIR: Black Voices In Film Returns to the Robinson for Year Two!
The Robinson Film Center is once again rolling out the red carpet for CineNOIR: Black Voices in Film, a festival dedicated to celebrating Black storytelling through cinema. Now in its second year, CineNOIR continues its mission to highlight independent Black filmmakers from the region and beyond.
From February 1-6, 2025, audiences will experience a curated selection of independent films—both short and feature-length—as well as previously released major studio films that amplify Black voices and narratives. With engaging panel discussions, filmmaker Q&As, and thought-provoking screenings, this event promises to be an enriching and immersive cinematic experience.

CineNOIR is a platform for Black filmmakers to share stories and experiences in an authentic and powerful way. This year’s lineup includes a mix of locally and regionally made films, as well as classic and contemporary features that have left a lasting impact.
