I'm expecting a full press release on this sooner than later, but in the meantime, lifted directly from the American Black Film Festival's website, here's the lineup for the festival's 2012 narrative and documentary feature film selections; you'll notice several familiar titles covered previously on S&A, like Better Mus' Come, Elza (photo above), The Last Fall, LUV, Ties That Bind, The Undershepherd, and Soul Food Junkies (which I noted is one of the 2012 titles we're excited about here on S&A).

Si if you've yet to see any of these titles (I've seen a handful of them), here's your next opportunity to do so, in lovely South Beach, FL, next month. The festival runs from June 20 to 23.

We'll return to highlight any new titles that we haven't previously profiled.

Still to be announced are the short film competition and webisode finalists.
