Celebrating Black Stories at NYICFF 2026 gets its only screening on Saturday


SPOOKY
A lovely film about a young girl who rescues a bat.
This is the sort of film I go to NYICFF to discover


EMERGENCY CONTACT'
A niece and her aunt have to ride out storm together.
This one is going to make you smile. Its a wonderful tale of an aunt who loves her niece and her niece who loves her and the mischief they get into to pass the time during a storm.


FANTAS
Tania takes her house home to meet her friends. 
This is a lovely tale which I wish had a less contrived ending. Its not bad, its just too out of left field.


FORT BUKU
Three friends decide to go look for Fort Buku, which is the fort used by slsaves to hide out from the plantation owners. It was deep in the marsh lands in a secret location.
Wonderful long long short is absolutely not what I expected. Full of great characters , this is the sort of film you want to disappear into so you can hang out with the people on screen.  It's perfectly told from start to finish and certain to put a smile on you face.  
I wish this was getting more than a single showing at this year's NYICFF
