Using the metaphor of a series of strategically located “Safe Houses” in Seattle neighborhoods, the Underground Railroad is a series of intimate screenings designed to build community across the aisle and across neighborhoods. Each Safe House along the trail brings forth a different provocative work about African American life, leading to “freedom” at the fourth annual Langston Hughes African American Film Festival, April 21-29, 2007. The Langston Hughes African American Film Festival (LHAAFF) is presented by the Langston Hughes Performing Arts Center in Central Seattle. The LHAAFF presents films from independent filmmakers from around the world; panel discussions; screenplay readings; matinée screenings for middle and high school youth and in-depth discussions with filmmakers, industry professionals and local community leaders. All are welcome; no one will be turned away from AMERICAN BLACKOUT for lack of funds. www.langstonblackfilmfest.org HOSTED BY: Langston Hughes African American Film Festival, Reclaim the Media.
