Submissions for the Black Bottom Film Festival at the August Wilson Center are now open!
From age-old classics to contemporary work, the Black Bottom Film Festival illuminates and celebrates African American cinema and uniqueness of Black people on film. The festival will showcase movies that converge on the recurring themes of spirituality, race, family conflict, honor, duty and the struggle of the working-class. These are themes ever-present in August Wilson’s The Pittsburgh Cycle plays. In particular, the festival will celebrate African American filmmaking pioneers of recent decades. The BBFF fosters an examination of how Black filmmakers use art to inspire, challenge, confront, and influence American culture.
The August Wilson African American Cultural Center believes that creativity is boundless. We invite you to share your creativity on film with us. Final Deadline to submit is August 18, 2023.
