Fabienne Colas Instagram – @ctvchristine has been covering the @montrealblackfilmfest for close to 19 years. She witnessed our humble beginnings and always encouraged me. I remember my first interview with her, where she said: we’re here because what you’re doing is important. At that time, there was no Black Lives matter movement, no diversity or BIPOC incentives or funding programs. She was there because she truly believed in the importance of diversity off/on screen. Thanks Christine Long for your loyal support!!! Catch my interview with her on CTV at 5PM. And join us at the Festival!!! — 19th annual Montreal Black Film Festival Sept. 27 – Oct 1, 2023 Online and in-person www.MontrealBlackFilm.com Created by the Fabienne Colas Foundation Presented by @desjardinscoop #MIBFF23 #FIFBM23 #Montreal #Montrealevent #eventmontreal #film #filmbuff #Festivalgoers #blagk #blackfilm #diversity #legacy #blackscreen #blackfilmfestival
