American Black Film Festival (ABFF) is expanding beyond its flagship annual Miami Beach event to launch the ABFF Pop-Up Tour, a new national initiative bringing the festival to four major cities across the U.S. this fall.
The ABFF Pop-Up Tour kicks off in October 2025 at AMC Theatres in New York City, followed by stops in Atlanta and Dallas in November, and culminating in Los Angeles this December.
The Pop-Up Tour will feature award-winning independent films, celebrity conversations, and curated panels—including BOB Talks, an inspiring speaker series spotlighting Black-Owned Brands.
“For nearly three decades, ABFF has been a cornerstone for showcasing and elevating Black storytelling,” said Jeff Friday, ABFF Cofounder and CEO of Nice Crowd. “The ABFF Pop-Up Tour is a natural evolution of that mission—a mobile cultural movement designed to expand opportunity and deepen connection. By bringing the ABFF experience directly into local communities, we’re creating new spaces to discover talent, celebrate creativity, and unite through the power of film and shared culture. We’re excited to partner with Ally Financial to help bring this vision to life.”
