We are thrilled to announce the launch of In the Wake’s Virtual Film Contest, a unique celebration of storytelling that delves into the profound relationship between Blackness and geographies. This seasons’ theme, “Blackness and Geographies: Cityscapes, Agriculture, and Land Realities,” invites filmmakers from all backgrounds to explore and illuminate the intricate connections between Black identities, urban environments, rural landscapes, and the realities of land ownership and usage.
🌟 Why Participate?
Through this contest, we aim to bring attention to the diverse experiences of Black communities, from the vibrant life of city neighborhoods to the rich history and significance of land ownership in rural areas. We encourage filmmakers to capture the stories of struggles, triumphs, and transformations that define these spaces. Your film has the power to bring these narratives to life, contributing to a greater understanding and appreciation of the intersection between Blackness and geographies.
🌟 What to Expect?
Participants will have the opportunity to showcase their work on a global platform, engage with a community of like-minded creatives, and gain valuable insights from industry experts. Whether it’s documenting the historical significance of land ownership, portraying the resilience of urban communities, or highlighting the ongoing fight for agricultural justice, we are excited to see your unique perspectives and powerful storytelling.
🌟 How to Get Involved?
Submit your films and be a part of this transformative journey. Let’s come together to create a tapestry of visual stories that reflect the rich and varied experiences of Black communities across different geographies. Your contribution can inspire change, spark conversations, and amplify voices that often go unheard.
