From DallasNews.com:
The fifth annual Dallas Black Film Festival, presented by People With a Message Production Filmworks & Etc., is a three-day affair packing screenings of children's movies and feature films made by independent black filmmakers, as well as foreign and classic films. One of the highlights of the festival is a tribute to Tupac Shakur as an actor. The homage to Mr. Shakur, who died in 1996, will feature poetry readings and screenings of his films. The festival will also feature videos and memorabilia (such as posters and signed, framed photographs) related to independent black filmmaking. First-, second- and third-place winners of a movie trivia contest on Sunday will get trophies. – BINDU VARGHESE / Staff Writer
