Melanin Pride Festival III is an epic renaissance in commemoration of  non-binary, transgender, LGBQIA+ Black, Indigenous, people of color (BIPOC) in film and visual arts. The MPF features film screenings, discussions and workshops  dedicated to our innovation and narratives. As important, we carve out spaces within the Festival industry, that foster inclusion and belonging and provide an affirming, equitable platform for marginalized, underrepresented voices.

​

The MPF III films screenings will be featured via Xerb.tv October 8th - 18th.  Please visit and sign-up  (free) with Xerb.tv today to access our screening channel and festival.
