WHO WE ARE
Black Girls CinemaClub (BGCC) is a social film club where cinema becomes a space for critical conversation, cultural celebration, and radical imagination. Founded with the mission to center Black feminism in film theory, our screenings and discussions are designed to amplify the voices, experiences, and creative power of Black women in and behind the camera.
We believe that representation matters—not just on screen, but in the conversations that follow.

UP NEXT:
Black Girls Cinema Club will be joining our friends at The Geffen Playhouse for a special “Black Parnter’s Affinity Night” to watch the TONY Award winning play PURPOSE!
The proceeds from this night will allow Black Girls Cinema Club to bring more great screenings and special film theory workshops to LOS ANGELES in 2027!
Join us for a night of music, drinks and desserts as we welcome this Broadway gem to the West Coast!
Tickets are going fast!
