Chicago Filmmaker Vici Howard amplifies impact of ‘Black and Brown Femme Films’

Vici Howard is a South Side filmmaker. Upset by the lack of opportunities to show off her work, Howard started her own rotating showcase to give Black and brown femme filmmakers a platform to show their films.

“There’s a whole community of filmmakers out there, Black and brown women of color, who need a venue,” she said. “So I’m creating a community and giving that and offering that to them.”

In this episode, Howard tells us about Black & Brown Femme Films and how she embraced her love of film later in life.

This episode was produced by Ari Mejia for WBEZ’s sister station Vocalo and their Chi Sounds Like series.
