Beginning on August 8th, the Siskel Film Center will celebrate the achievements of Black Film with the 21st Annual Black Harvest. The month-long celebration will document varying stories about the black experience ranging from stories told about the Black Panther movement, to stories of growing up on the south side of Chicago.

As viewers watch the films, they are introduced to thought-provoking subject matter that highlights the black experience. For movie attendees with burning questions, some of the screenings will even have the actors and actors present available for a discussion.

The festival ends its run September 3rd where a closing night reception by Whole Foods will follow the screening.

Tickets for all of the films are available at SiskelFilmCenter.org
