From May 8-12, 2008 Fountainhead® Tanz Theatre presents under the direction of Prof. Donald Muldrow Griffith and Prof. Gayle McKinney Griffith, the 23rd edition of the intercultural and interdisciplinary film/video festival Black International Cinema Berlin at the Moviemento cinema in Berlin/Kreuzberg. The XXIII. Black International Cinema Berlin/Germany, Warsaw/Poland & USA 2008 will be presented under the theme "DIVERSE & TOGETHER - A Complexion Change."
Black International Cinema Berlin is a yearly interdisciplinary, intercultural film/video festival produced and directed by FOUNTAINHEAD® TANZ THEATRE / THE COLLEGIUM - FORUM & TELEVISION PROGRAM BERLIN and CULTURAL ZEPHYR e.V. and screens cinema from Africa, the African Diaspora and other films from varied intercultural backgrounds or perspectives.

Black International Cinema Berlin was founded 1986 in Berlin/Germany. The intercultural and interdisciplinary festival is produced and directed by Fountainhead® Tanz Theatre, which was founded 1980 in Berlin by two US-American artists Donald Muldrow Griffith (awarded New York City Off-Broadway actor, dancer, singer and producer) and the former prima ballerina Gayle McKinney Griffith together with three other artists. Both are co-producers and directors of Fountainhead® Tanz Theatre.

Fountainhead® is a production, performing, teaching and distribution unit. People with different national, cultural, ethnic, social-economic and religious backgrounds, of both genders and different sexual identities are working together in various artistic and cultural fields, with the intention to create, promote and bring about an intercultural exchange through the projects available.

Besides a variety of activities in the fields of dance, theatre, music, film/video festival/distribution, publication, television, exhibitions, workshops, seminars and the publication of 5 anthologies, the production, direction and realization of the annual intercultural, interdisciplinary film/video festival Black International Cinema and the television program The Collegium - Forum & Television Program Berlin, weekly telecast on Sundays from 9-10 p.m. and once a month live, belong to the focal point of work by the Fountainhead® Tanz Theatre.

In 1990, Fountainhead® founded Cultural Zephyr e.V. as a non-profit organization.

Black International Cinema Berlin originated from the Black Cultural Festival, which was produced and directed by Fountainhead® Tanz Theatre in 1986 for the first time in Europe, a 3-week event in Berlin, which presented the contributions of Black people to world culture through film, theater, dance, music, workshops and seminars, and was an homage to the legendary tap dancer, Carnell Lyons.

Since then, Fountainhead® Tanz Theatre produces and directs the Black International Cinema annually in Berlin and additionally, in other European and US-American cities.
