Farr, alongside the 2024 San Francisco Black Film Festival Jeff Adachi Social Justice Award recipient Mario Van Peebles, who screened three socially relevant films—"Outlaw Posse," "Panther," and "Armed"—along with multi-talented musician D'Wayne Wiggins and Edward La Borde Jr., who presented their film "Timeless" set in the Virgin Islands, joined over 75 filmmakers in successfully launching the festival into its second quarter-century. Their efforts, combined with the '$25toThrive' Campaign, a rallying call for public support, ensure the empowerment and resilience of SFBFF for years to come.
