Another STELLAR year at the Martha’s Vineyard African American Film Festival is in the books! 🤍

The Cut was on the ground at the 24th annual mvaaff as the festival’s official media sponsor. We hosted a variety of events in celebration of Black storytelling this year, from our welcome party and Founders’ Dinner with delta to our “Joy, Uninterrupted” panel, co-hosted with lincoln. We wrapped the week with a garden dinner co-hosted by Cartier and Oscar-winning costume designer Ruth E. Carter.

Kicking off the week of film festival events, The Cut’s editor-in-chief, lrpeoples joined creatives brittney.janae and nnekaj for a conversation about creative work. After a screening of two short films by each of the filmmakers, they spent the afternoon discussing their respective projects, why they need to rest, intention in the filmmaking industry, and freedom.

Delta helped The Cut kick off the MVAAF with a welcome party on Monday night. Festival co-founders Stephanie Rance and Floyd Rance made remarks for the evening while DJ Chris Washington provided the music.
