2006 San Francisco Black Film Festival Call For Entries

Call for entries: Films and Screenplays. February 1 (Early); March 1 (Final).

(PRWEB) December 22, 2005 -- The San Francisco Black Film Festival announces its call for entries for the 8th Annual San Francisco Black Film Festival.

The festival's mission is to celebrate African American cinema and the African cultural Diaspora and to showcase a diverse collection of films -- from emerging and established filmmakers. Our film selections highlight the richness of Black culture while recognizing universal themes and the similarities that exist among all cultures.

Narrative features, documentaries, shorts, animation, experimental, youth-produced works and television productions on film, video and digital media, which have been completed after January 1, 2005, may be submitted. Films should be written and/or directed by an African or African American or feature Africans or African Americans in prominent roles.

San Francisco Black Film Festival also promotes and celebrates the work of visionary filmmakers with a special award competition. Established in the name of producer, actor and director Melvin Van Peebles, the Maverick Award acknowledges emerging filmmakers for taking the types of risks required to present unique and authentic images of Blacks on film.
