Thanks for joining and liking our page. Check the notification area (in the "Like" box) to make sure you receive the latest updates from us. Sankofa Film Society is a gathering ground for cultural investigation, intellectual and compassionate conversation on a multitude of subjects, critical, social and celebratory. Founded by Jackie Moscou, former Artistic Director of Langston Hughes Performing Arts Institute and founder the Langston Hughes African American Film Festival, Sankofa Film Society continues her advocacy of independent films by people of color and women filmmakers. Sankofa Film Society drives the independent film market for people of color and women film makers, offering an alternative to the misaligned images of our communities and cultures in mainstream media. Working with long-time associate and LHAAFF Consulting Producer, Karen Toering, Sankofa Film Society is the Seattle home for Ava DuVernay’s ARRAY distribution company and the Columbia City Ark Lodge Cinema is the home theater for ARRAY films in Seattle. Look here first for the Seattle premiere of ARRAY films, opportunities for membership, travel and a wide variety of ways to connect in community with melanin-rich films.
