Discussing race is awkward and often avoided. Though race clearly plays a major role in many individuals sense of self and to the dynamics of many communities, we’re often told to ignore it — to pretend differences among races don’t exist.
But they do. And this contest is designed to uncover the experience of one group: blacks (often called African-Americans in the US).
What does it mean to be black in 2010? This contest is open to all filmmakers, whether black or any other race, but the subjects of the films must be black.
