Have you ever wondered why there aren't more films featuring African-American actors?

Micheaux Film Festival

Micheaux Film Festival is a non-profit organization that highlights African-American representation in film and television. Founded by Tim Reid and his son, Richard Reid, Micheaux Film Festival was created to promote diversity in filmmaking. The festival focuses on films that feature black actors, writers, producers and directors.

 

The festival takes place every year in November. It usually lasts for about two weeks and includes screenings of films from around the world. Micheaux also hosts panel discussions with industry professionals who share their experiences with viewers, as well as workshops where aspiring filmmakers can learn how to make their own films.

 

We offer a range of services including:

  • Organising events such as film festivals, screenings, workshops and seminars
  • Distributing script development support packages to aspiring writers
  • Producing educational materials such as books, DVDs etc.

 

Micheaux Hollywood Film Festival is a multicultural and Los Angeles film festival that celebrates diverse representation, gender and identity parity, and boosts visibility in the entertainment & media landscape. Our festival seeks to cultivate a dynamic community that gives artists the platform to share their unique stories.

We also encourage submissions from independent filmmakers who don't have representation or a distributor yet. If you are interested in having your film screened at the festival, please note that we can only screen films that have been completed by January 1st 2020. The deadline for submissions is December 31st 2019 at midnight EST/EDT (GMT-5). All submissions must be made via Film Freeway and cannot exceed 15 minutes in length (including credits).

Please ensure that you have read our submission guidelines before completing the online submission form on Film Freeway’s website: In addition to filling out the form, please also attach a letter explaining why we should consider screening your film at this year's Micheaux Film Festival. If possible, please also include any previous reviews or awards won by your work along with any other relevant information about yourself as an artist (e.g., previous work experience).

We hope you'll join us as we continue our mission of providing opportunities for filmmakers from diverse backgrounds to showcase their work—and the people who created it!

At Micheaux Hollywood Film Festival we pride ourselves in our standards of fair consideration for all projects & voices while continuing to push boundaries with each new year.
