The African American Film Critics Association (AAFCA) is an organization founded in 2016 to promote and support the work of African American film critics. It aims to provide a platform for diverse voices in film criticism and to highlight the contributions of African Americans in the film industry. AAFCA members review films, participate in discussions, and engage in community outreach. AAFCA also hosts annual awards to recognize outstanding achievements in film, particularly those that reflect African American culture and experiences. The organization plays a crucial role in advocating for representation and inclusion within the broader film community, influencing both audiences and industry professionals.
