EXCLUSIVE: The BlackStar Film Festival returns in August, for its 15th edition, and it will do so with a new look. 

Maori Karmael Holmes, the festival’s founder, and her team have partnered with the blue-chip New York design firm Pacific to reimagine the event’s visual identity. The festival and its parent organization, BlackStar Projects, can now be found under a new label designed by Pacific. 

“It felt like time to present a fresh identity,” Holmes told Deadline of the organization’s rebrand a few weeks before today’s launch.
