Kicking off the third day of the festival  at the Kabuki Theater, 1881 Post Street in San Francisco,  SFBFF will screen Mario Van Peebles' "Outlaw Posse."

"Outlaw Posse" is set in the post-Civil War era, following a group of African American cowboys as they seek justice in a lawless land. The film not only entertains but also highlights the often-overlooked contributions of Black individuals in American history.
