Deadline: Ongoing
The Black Public Media’s award-winning series, AfroPoP: The Ultimate Cultural Exchange, is currently accepting submissions.
As always, they’re looking for strong, completed films that capture the breadth, scope and diversity of the global Black experience. They’re interested in hearing from nonfiction and narrative filmmakers across the field and those who have an eye out for the new talent at HBCUs and other film programs. Submitted films can be about music, art, human rights, sports, politics, health, or anything in between. They should be accessible to a broad audience and open to generating opportunities for effective outreach and engagement activities to reach audiences beyond the public television broadcast. Primarily, they seek documentaries, but they also consider narrative or nonfiction shorts that run 30 minutes or less. Completed programs must be able to meet PBS technical and editorial standards. Submissions are accepted year-round.
