Building Bridges Across Continents, Countries and Cultures: Deepening Our Connection with Cameroon At the  Alma Film Festival , we believe cinema can build bridges across countries, cultures, and continents. Every shared story and creative exchange helps us understand one another, and that understanding can grow into lasting relationships. Our partnership with the Cameroonian film community puts that belief into practice. We are building a consistent, long-term relationship rooted in shared purpose, creative exchange, and support for filmmakers and their work. On November 3, 2026, Alma Film Festival Founder, Festival Director, and Managing Producer Anthony R. Page joins Tabe A. Wesley for a live online conversation.

A dramatic moment from A Cry from the Forest , directed by Lynno Lovert and starring Laura Onyama. Building on its debut festival in the Dominican Republic and its Ent-Tech (Innovation and Discovery Expo), Alma is putting its 42-country network to work, giving independent films and music videos a life beyond the festival circuit. ATLANTA — Here is the quiet problem with most independent films: they premiere, they win applause, maybe an award or two, and then they go dormant, many of them left sitting on a hard drive for years. Too often, these filmmakers never reach the audiences most eager to see their work. The Alma Film Festival and Signify TV are taking steps to change that. It’s a big problem, and no single partnership can solve it. But together, the two organizations are doing their part to connect more filmmakers with more audiences, one country, one creative community and one story at a time. The partnership arrives during a breakout year for Alma. In March, the festival made ...

Mari “Marz” Poydras of Channel Seven pouring every ounce of passion into the mic at Palate Atlanta Tasting Room. Two evenings at Palate Atlanta Tasting Room brought warmth, creative energy, and meaningful connection to Ent-Tech.

Wine tastings on both nights helped set an intimate, relaxed tone, while the performances gave guests plenty to celebrate—and much to talk about. Joining us from Hampton Roads, Virginia, Channel Seven delivered an i...

Historical film examines race, gender, and justice through the story of an enslaved woman’s resistance to sexual violence. MARIETTA, Georgia — Celia’s Cabin has been officially selected for BBR Films’ upcoming screening event on November 18, from 6–10 p.m., at Studio Movie Grill in Marietta, Georgia. Directed by Shay Franklin and written by Leslie Black , Khalimah Gaston , and Anthony R. Page , the film stars Leslie Black , Anna Broadway , and Jarrett Michael Collins . Cinematographer Chris Anthony Hamilton brings the story to the screen through beautifully composed imagery. The film centers on Celia, an enslaved woman who killed her enslaver after enduring years of sexual violence. Her 1855 trial exposed a devastating injustice: a legal system that held her accountable for resisting violence while denying her protection from it. She was ultimately convicted and executed. Celia’s story brings questions of race, gender, power, and bodily autonomy into focus. It challenges audiences t...
