Film

Support for local women filmmakers of color, to help create a virtual community, where members can interact online, learn, share content, maintain their web presence and continue to create content.

The 2020 film grant will support the "Legacy Network for Black Creators." Music duo, Kindred the Family Soul, will build the Legacy Network for Black Creators, which will feature their original video series along with other local and national filmmakers to showcase documentaries, shorts, and feature length films. The Legacy Network aims to bridge the gap between filmmakers, media artists, and audiences through curation and distribution by increasing the visibility of stories that heal and speak to the importance of culture, family, music, and love.

The 2020 Community Voices grant will support the launch of an online journal for essential discourse that connects media and media-making to historic and contemporary movements for social change. This journal will predominantly feature content guided and created by Black, Brown, Latinx and/or Indigenous artists and community organizers.

The 2020 Community Voices grant will support the production of a season two of the web series, Resistance: the battle of philadelphia, a six-part, short form, speculative fiction web series about a community's struggle against the surveillance and state violence of a powerful corporate government in a near-future Philadelphia.

The 2020 Community Voices Fund grant will support Big Picture Alliance's Via Lux Teen Media program, a youth-led collective that produces films about important stories shaping the lives of young people and engages the public through screenings, broadcasts, social media, and an annual film fest.
