Black Harvest Film Festival 2010 submissions announcement

By Sergio, on January 6th, 2010

 

HEAR YE! HEAR YE! It’s that time of year when we announce that we are actively looking and asking for submissions for this year’s Black Harvest Film Festival which takes place during the entire month of August at the Gene Siskel Film Center of the Art Institute of Chicago. Last year’s festival, in which we celebrated our 15th year incduing several big hits such as Pressure Cooker, Black Dynamite, Family, Complexion, If You Love Me, The Prince of Broadway just to name a few, broke all previous attendance records and this year we aim to either match that record or beat it. So it’s up to YOU! If you have a film that you’ve completed either last year or will by May of this year and that hasn’t been screened in Chicago we want to take a look at it. 

It can be in any genre, from any country, in any length feature or short, narrative, documentary or experimental,  in any format. The only requirements are that it deals with some aspect of black life and culture from anywhere in the world and that it’s good! (Hopefully…) The deadline for submissions in June 2. Please check the website www.siskelfilmcenter.org to download the official 2010 Black Harvest submission form which will be soon located on the homepage of the site at the banner at the top of the page and also beneath the calendar in the left hand column of the homepage. And there is NO fee to submit a film. (You can also submit your film now and send in the submission form later as well) So let’s get going!
