Key West, FL – The Studios of Key West is thrilled to present Riff on ROXFILM, a weekend of extraordinary film screenings in collaboration with the Roxbury International Film Festival (ROXFILM), the largest New England festival dedicated to films by, for, and about people of color. This special event features two thought-provoking films followed by engaging talkbacks with their directors, Daniel Callahan and Frederick Lewis.

Screening Schedule:

Friday, February 7, 7 PM
“Come On In” by Daniel Callahan
This award-winning debut follows a jaded artist whose return home and encounter with a mysterious voice spark an uncanny journey, blurring reality, fantasy, and the boundaries of his own mind.

Saturday, February 8, 7 PM
“Paul Laurence Dunbar: Beyond the Mask” by Frederick Lewis
A compelling documentary exploring the life and legacy of Paul Laurence Dunbar, the first nationally renowned African American writer. The film highlights his literary achievements, activism against Jim Crow laws, and enduring influence on American culture.

Ed DeMore, sponsor of the event and longtime supporter of ROXFILM and The Studios, expressed his excitement about bringing this collaboration to Key West. “The Roxbury International Film Festival celebrates the power of storytelling to connect us across cultures and communities,” said DeMore, a Boston resident with deep ties to the arts. “Partnering with The Studios of Key West to share these films is a dream come true, and I can’t wait for audiences to experience the creativity and depth of these incredible filmmakers.”

Each screening will be introduced by ROXFILM Board Member Andrea Lyman, who also stars in Come On In. Attendees will have the opportunity to participate in post-screening Q&A sessions with the directors, offering deeper insight into their creative processes and the stories behind the films.
