WHAT WE’RE DOING WHY YOU SHOULD SUPPORT
The Black X Film Festival is a three-day online film festival (September 17-21, 2021) started by a collective of Black artists and allies to showcase Black creators. Through providing this free event of music and film, we showcase the radical multifaceted expressions of the Black experience by centering Black resilience and a commitment to anti-racism.The generated financial support through fundraising affords the fair compensation of Black artists, and the donation of funds to organizations that are working on the ground for Black lives.
We are committed to compensating all artists for their work as well as donating to nonprofit organizations doing on the ground work to fight for Black lives. All funds received will go towards directly compensating each filmmaker for their work, cash prizes for the awarded films, donating to nonprofits, and some production operating costs (20% of our budget). All donations made to the festival are tax deductible. We are fiscally sponsored by Reflective Image, a 501(c)3 nonprofit, led by Academy- and Emmy-winning directors Rob Epstein and Jeffrey Friedman.
