Ida B. Wells Fund Short Film Competition
The award recipients will be chosen by an interdisciplinary panel composed of expert curators, filmmakers, producers, other arts professionals, scholars and winners from last year in a thorough, multi-step review process.
"Ida B Wells Fund enables filmmakers to take disruptive risks with new original works," says Aunjanue Ellis, Oscar Nominee, Actress, and Writer.
The fund will invest in five projects that critique dominant social and historical narratives and embody artistic attributes: commitment, communal meaning, disruption, cultural integrity, emotional experience, risk-taking, coherence, openness, stickiness, and resourcefulness.
Winners of last year's film fund at $10,000 each include Lamard W Cher-Aime's "Captain Zero: The Animated Series" which speaks to the importance of mental health awareness in the Black communities and Christine Swanson's "Sunflower: The Fannie Lou Hamer Story" staring Academy Award nominee Aunjanue Ellis.
Ida B. Wells Fund Expands To Include Visual and Creative Placemaking
In addition, the Ida B. Wells Fund will expand to visual arts and creative placemaking.
"Not only are artists producers of aesthetic objects and creators of experiences, they help to make places healthier, more equitable, and sustainable," said Artistic Director, Jessica Green. The expansion of the fund to include creative placemaking is an acknowledgment of creativity as a radical act of resistance."
Black placemaking is a reclamation of space rooted in remembrance. The fund acknowledges this praxis of remembrance, reclamation, and renewal as a creative act of resistance. The fund will partner with cultural bearers fortifying our participation in the public commons.
