Kathleen Bertrand

Greetings, and welcome to the online home of BronzeLens Film Festival!

Based in Atlanta, Georgia, BronzeLens was founded to share and applaud the many stories of people of color created through digital moving images. Since our beginning in 2010, we have screened thought-provoking and informative films gathered from filmmakers with origins across the African diaspora and more.

The BronzeLens team is committed to educating, enlightening, and entertaining the world-wide audience that follows us. This website is the start of your BronzeLens experience. I hope you will find the information presented here to be informative about all things BronzeLens – from our history to our tremendous participants to our current programs.

Please make plans to join us in person as we present the 13th annual BronzeLens Film Festival, live in culture-rich Atlanta, Georgia, August 23-28, 2022.

See you soon!
