SUBMIT YOUR PROJECT TO THE MICHEAUX FILM FESTIVAL 2021 ON FILM FREEWAY

If you're interested in sponsoring, volunteering or for more information, hit us at: connect@micheauxfilmfest.com

The Micheaux Film Festival is a multicultural film festival that showcases and celebrates diverse representation in the entertainment landscape, while cultivating a community that gives artists an opportunity to tell their unique stories.

With a cutting-edge and fresh take on the festival experience, we bring independent creatives together and curate an environment for artists to build relationships with future collaborators in the television, film, and digital space.

The festival is aptly named after Oscar Micheaux, a pioneer filmmaker described as the most successful African-American filmmakers of the first half of the 20th century. His legacy lives on through his writing, directing, producing, and distribution of over 44 feature films during his lifetime.

Our commitment to diversity and inclusion lies beyond a buzzword. Diversity refers to the traits that make people unique, while inclusion refers to the behaviors and social norms that ensure people feel welcome.

Our main focus is to curate an environment where all feel welcomed, part of a community, and able to identify with the stories they see play out on screen.

We invite all aspects of individualism and uniqueness including: race, color, religion, sex, national origin, political affiliation, sexual orientation, marital status, disability, military service, or other non-merit factor.

Going into our third year, we are excited to continue growing and expanding, accepting feature length films and documentaries, as well as shorts of all genres.

We are expanding on our networking mixers, implementing a designated happy hour, as well as introducing more Master Classes and fireside chats throughout the festival weekend.
