Why sponsor SWATS

Four ways your brand shows up.

Film & Festival

Screening lanes, festival programs, and the Black History Film Festival across four cities.

Music & Culture

The Old Atlanta remix series and Mega-Mix compilations — 50+ artists carrying the city’s sound.

Live Events

Galas, listening parties, community festivals, and signature Atlanta cultural moments.

Community Reach

Schools, libraries, scholarships, and neighborhood programs rooted in Southwest Atlanta.

BHFF Markets

The Black History Film Festival runs in four markets.

Founded in Atlanta and now screening nationally, BHFF elevates the stories of unsung Black history heroes through film. Atlanta and Washington D.C. are the flagship markets; Miami and Oakland are the newest — each an open lane for a founding sponsor.
