We are proud to announce the dates for the 3rd annual Colorado Diasporic Film Festival that will take place in early August, 2026. We are taking your feedback and moving all events to one walkable area during the festival. We will be staying in the Aurora Arts District area except for our traditional opening night at the Sie Film Center. Our newest partner, Roshni Healing Arts Sanctuary, just opened up in 2025 and has a projection space downstairs. We will also be using their space upstairs to host the House of Africa, an exhibition of art from across the African Diaspora. We will be tapping into local spaces around the district to host some workshops, artists talks, film screenings, meetups, shopping and more so stay tuned. This year will be an interactive experience of film, art, culture and trade.
