S.O.U.L. Fest

Now in its sixth year, the annual S.O.U.L. Fest returns to BFI Southbank, in partnership with ABFF Global: London, a European spin-off of the American Black Film Festival to celebrate Black film and TV talent both behind and in front of the camera.


The S.O.U.L. Fest Team

Founded in 2019 S.O.U.L. Fest is realised as a collaboration between three organisations who serve Black audiences and talent.

The British Blacklist is a media platform that celebrates the work of UK-based Black creatives and those of the wider Diaspora who work across Screen, Stage, Literature, and Sound.

We Are Parable specialise in film exhibition and believe in the storytelling power of events to enhance the experience of a cinema going audience.

S.O.U.L. Film is a platform with the mission to make British film and TV industry more diverse by celebrating and connecting BAME filmmakers and audiences.
