Celebrating 13 years of cinematic excellence, the Greater Cleveland Urban Film Festival invites you to join us in 2024 for an unforgettable experience. As a premier event in the Midwest, we pride ourselves on providing a vibrant platform for independent filmmakers, screenwriters, and actors from the African Diaspora to showcase their talent to a diverse audience in Greater Cleveland.

​

But we're more than just a festival. We're a catalyst for inspiration and education, offering valuable opportunities for aspiring individuals looking to break into the film industry. Through our curated screenings and engaging discussions, we aim to foster a deeper appreciation for the arts and ignite meaningful dialogue on the pressing issues of our times.

 

Join us for four days of immersive in-person screenings, followed by a seven-day virtual exhibition, as we harness the power of film to bridge cultures, races, and lifestyles. Let's come together to celebrate creativity, spark conversations, and make lasting connections. Don't miss out on what promises to be an enriching and enlightening experience at GCUFF 2024.
