Here is a throwback to a panel discussion that was part of our 2020 Inaugural Short Film Fest that took place 8/6/20 – 8/9/20.

The panel will discuss the powerful cinematic stories by Black female filmmakers in 2019 and 2020, in the midst of the Black Lives Matter movement. The panel discussion will be moderated by Chaz Ebert, Publisher and Editor-in-Chief of RogerEbert.com. Feature panelists include filmmakers Channing Godfrey Peoples (“Miss Juneteenth”), Ashley O’Shay (“Unapologetic), Numa Perrier (“Jezebel”), Christine Swanson (“The Clark Sisters”), and Sandrel Nicole Young (“Training Wheels”).
