The Black Femme Supremacy Film Fest, in collaboration with the Enoch Pratt Free Central Library, and HONEY CHILE, the indie production company founded by award-winning writer / director / Baltimore native Felicia Pride presents HONEY CHILE Fest!

The inaugural, one-day festival centered and celebrated the creative works and fascinating journeys of Honeys (Black women 40+), as well as showcased Baltimore’s unique artistic contributions from Black Femmes.

We be hosted the first live edition of HONEY CHILE’S NAACP-nominated podcast CHILE, PLEASE. Felicia Pride and her co-host Ivy Grant, along with special guest, multi-hyphenate and Baltimorean Ty Alexander. These ladies delivered their signature personal and hilarious exploration of the pleasures and pains of being Black and women of a certain age.

We premiered Felicia Pride’s latest short film, LOOK BACK AT IT, which was filmed in Baltimore by some of the city’s finest artists. The project stars viral sensation and Baltimore native Angel Laketa Moore and follows a forty-something single mother who gets her groove back with a little assistance from her teenage daughter.

An encore of LOOK BACK AT IT was screened later in the day as part of the Black Femme Supremacy Film Fest curated screening block: Defining Baltimore. This block of short films curated by Black Femme Supreacy Film Fest founder, Nia Hampton, mused on what life in Baltimore for the black femme is really like. Featured films included, Bodymore by Darren Mallet and Shannon Shird, 769 W. Saratoga by Uni Q. Mical and the encore of Look Back At It by Felicia Pride.
