A NOTE FROM THE FESTIVAL
Black Femme Supremacy Film Festival
How it works
Since our (BFSFF) first festival in spring 2018 we’ve screened over 40 short films from Black filmmakers of varying ethnicities and nationalities. We imagine the Black Femme as a global protagonist and universal archetype. And we screen films of any genre that center Black Femme protagonists or are made by Black Femme filmmakers. The niche market that we cater to at our festival is quite literally the future. These are the heads of households who not only influence the minds of the youth but the checking accounts of the family and community at large. We aim to appeal to the whole of who our audience is, as so often Black Femmes are forced to choose between their blackness or their queerness. This is a festival that celebrates both.

ABOUT THE PLATFORM
What is Seed&Spark?
Seed&Spark is the platform powering this online festival. Seed&Spark’s mission is to connect people through stories that matter. Since 2012, their platform has helped thousands of creators bring stories to life and to audiences via story-centric crowdfunding, subscription streaming, community events and workplace programs that cultivate a culture of equity and inclusion.

How do I watch a film?
To watch a film, you can: purchase an individual ticket, purchase a pass, or redeem an access code if you’ve been given one by the festival. If you make your purchase during the pre-order period, you’ll need to wait until the festival starts to watch your film(s). You will be able to use your ticket or pass to watch the film(s) for the duration of the festival. Once the festival starts, select the title you want to watch from the Festival home page. If you have a pass or a ticket for the title selected, you can click “Watch” to begin viewing. Make sure you’re logged into Seed&Spark with the e-mail that you used when making your purchase!
Where can I watch the film?
You can watch the film on any Internet-connected device like a computer, tablet, or phone (no downloads required!). You can also cast it to a TV. To watch on a TV, click play from the film page. Once the film player is open, hover your mouse over the bottom part of the frame to show icons that enable (Chromecast) or (Airplay). As long as you have a Chromecast, Apple TV, or a Smart TV that supports either option, the icons should show up and the film should play on your TV.
NEED HELP
If you’re having a different issue with something not addressed here, you can chat with Seed & Spark customer support on the spot using the chat box in the lower right corner of your ticket purchase screen.
You can also email nikiea@anatomyofwings.com or kirsten@anatomyofwings.com.
How can I purchase tickets for multiple films?
Tickets must be purchased individually. Your access to all of the titles you’ve purchased tickets for is tied to your Seed&Spark account (using the e-mail and password that you set during checkout), so make sure you’re logged in to watch! Alternatively, you can purchase a festival pass for access to all titles.
