OAKLAND, Calif. - Californer -- Posted Courtesy of Wright Enterprises Community Spotlight San Francisco~Dallas~~~
Ethnic Ties in Association with The Oakland International Film Festival & San Francisco Black Film Festival Presents The Black Oakland Tour: Oakanda Forever
FACTS AT A GLANCE
Ethnic Ties, founded by Acacia Woods Chan, an educator, economist, multilingual entrepreneur of Black and Chinese American descent, born and raised in Oakland has joined forces with the Oakland International Film Festival and the San Francisco Black Film Festival to bring a unique experience to the premiere of the Black Panther sequel "Wakanda Forever" at the historic Grand Lake Theater.
The Oakland International Film Festival, co-founded by Morehouse alum David Roach, a nonprofit leader rooted in social justice, food equity, film and media development for independent filmmakers, just completed the 20th iteration of the Oakland International film festival "Celebrating two Decades of Empowerment" that included dignitaries such as U.S. Representative Barbara Lee and Governor Gavin Newsom. Although Black-led, the Oakland International Film Festival is not a Black Film Festival as it has garnered stories of all people from around the world with an emphasis on bringing the stories of indigenous people and the voiceless worldwide to the big screen.
The San Francisco Black Film Festival, has a unique distinction of being an institution led by Executive Director Cree Ray as a third generation Black San Franciscan, following in the in the footsteps of her father, the late Kali O'Ray, a filmmaker and prolific graphic designer educated at HBCU Clarke University in Atlanta, who took over the family nonprofit at the passing of his mother, Arts Impresario Ave Montague, who founded the festival in 1998 with themes of social justice, economic empowerment and creating a balance view of the African Diaspora.
The association of Ethnic Ties, The Oakland International Film Festival, and the San Francisco Black Film Festival in the promotion of "The Black Oakland Tour: Oakanda Forever" brings awareness to Oakland's rich Black history that is too often obscured by media headlines that too often focus only on violence and demonstrates the potential for tourism and cultural exchange via the arts.
