There are a number of ways to get involved:

OPEN CALL FOR FILMMAKERS

We are looking to showcase a selection of films created by black and global majority creatives from or living in the North of England.

Guided by Pan-African principles of decolonisation, social justice, and racial equality, we are looking for films in search of strategies for liberation. How does liberation, especially for black communities, express itself?

There is no submission fee - selected filmmakers will receive a £100 honorarium for the screening of their work.
