Regionally Speaking: The 12th Annual Gary International Black Film Festival

Gary International Film Fest

The 12th Annual Gary International Black Film Festival commences Thursday, October 6, 2022 with an All Black Pre-Funk Art Experience at the RailCats stadium. The 2022 festival will feature both virtual and in-person offerings including a drive-in movie night at Indiana University Northwest. The weekend will conclude with an award ceremony celebrating the inaugural GIBFF Fellows. The film festival will stay true to its roots as an international diaspora festival with documentary and narrative films from nine countries across the globe. Lakeshore Public Radio's Dee Dotson spoke with festival founder Karen Toering about why she continues to shine a light on Gary with this huge event.

Dee Dotson is the host and producer of our radio show/podcast, Regionally Speaking. Dee is responsible for connecting with the northwest Indiana community to share their stories with the Lakeshore Public Media listening audience.
