We created immersive film festival experiences that invited audiences to step into stories of aviation and the environment. By connecting past and future through film and community, we inspired connection, expanded access, and encouraged a new generation to see themselves within the evolving story of flight and exploration.
Join us Saturday, May 1, 2027 for the second Bessie Coleman Aviation Film Festival at Bult Field C56. Sponsored by Chicago Southland Chamber of Commerce, Aviatrix Company and Queen B Production.
Congratulatons to our film winners! We had an excitng day of films, aviation and comradery. Looking forward to May 1, 2027 for next year's film festival!
