This year, the BronzeLens Film Festival will celebrate its 15th consecutive season of showcasing films made by and for people of color.

The festival brings over 140 films from various categories and filmmakers around the world to the big screen in Atlanta once a year and has done so since 2010.

According to BronzeLens executive producer Kathleen Bertrand, the festival started right as the film industry in Atlanta began to take off, hoping to become a platform for people of color to get connected with the world of film and television. She recently sat down with “City Lights” producer Summer Evans to discuss the fest.
