Doc by Nationally-Recognized Filmmaker Alyscia Cunningham To Debut at Prestigious Black Film Fest

SILVER SPRING, Md. - April 4, 2022 - PRLog -- "I Am More than My Hair" by Alyscia Cunningham is slated to debut at another leading film festival highlighting talented Black filmmakers. Her documentary will screen at the 30^th annual Pan African Film Festival in Los Angeles, California this month. The Maryland native is both humbled and honored for her film to have been selected.

"I Am More Than My Hair" is a documentary short that includes interviews with women who've experienced hair loss due to a health-related condition and their journey of self-empowerment to see beauty beyond the media's standards.

Created by Hollywood veterans Danny Glover, the late Ja'Net DuBois, and Ayuko Babu, the Pan African Film Festival (PAFF) is the biggest Black film and arts festival in the United States. Since 1992, PAFF has attracted filmmakers, artists, and unique craftspeople from over 40 countries and 6 continents to showcase their pivotal work and talent. Cunningham is proud to be among them.

Due to the current rise of COVID cases in Los Angeles County, the Pan African Film and Arts Festival (PAFF) recently announced that the festival won't take place Feb. 8-21 as originally anticipated. Instead, the event has been rescheduled for April 19-May 1 at its flagship venues: the Directors Guild of America, Cinemark Baldwin Hills and XD and Baldwin Hills Crenshaw Plaza.

The show times for Cunningham's documentary at PAFF are April 26^th and 30^th in Short Doc Series 2 screening to take place at Cinemark Baldwin Hills Crenshaw Plaza 15 and XD, 4030 Marlton Avenue, Los Angeles, CA 90008.

Although it may seem unfortunate, the recent Oscar incident has created a buzz and raised awareness about alopecia. Jada Pinkett Smith is one of the 21 million females in the US affected by the autoimmune condition, which can occur suddenly or develop gradually over time. Cunningham produced "I Am More Than My Hair" as a platform to create awareness female hair loss.
