Black Excellence

The Great Film Club

7:45PM – 10:30PM

Doors open at 7:45PM. Program starts at 8PM.

Black Excellence Night! A 2-hour program of short films by Black filmmakers. Whether your short film was directed, produced, DP’d, or written by a Black filmmaker — it qualifies for submission.

This will be a 2-hour program of short films by local Black filmmakers, followed by a 1-hour meet and greet to connect, collaborate, and build community.

This is a curated screening.

All short films under 20 minutes will go through a curation process. If selected, your film will be showcased with us that evening.

The first hour will prioritize short films under 10 minutes.
The second hour will feature selected films ranging from 10–20 minutes.

All films must be approved through our review process in order to screen.

If you do not receive a confirmation email, your film was not selected for this screening.

As always, submissions are free.

Any film that is clearly offensive, inappropriate, or lacking artistic integrity will not be considered.

If selected, you must be in attendance for your film to screen that night.
