Black Harvest International Festival of Film and Video- 2001

Held each year in August at the Gene Siskel Film Center in downtown Chicago that runs over a course of two weeks.

In addition to many fine films, each year Sergio Mims leads a provocative panel discussion. This year it was called "Is Black Film Dead?".
