Today we present a playlist that highlights amazing short films from Black filmmakers. This playlist has a twist though looking to expand the scope of our coverage and invite fresh voices to contribute to our curation, this is not a list of worthy films culled from our archive. Instead, we invited a number of our Black alums to suggest a short film that they love which hadn’t been previously featured on the site. We’re thankful to the filmmakers who took part and provided recommendations. From festival winners to filmmakers now making their mark in Features and Television, this is an exciting list of talents you should know about. Many on this list are new to us, and we’re excited to dig deeper into their catalog. Of course, if you like our guest programmer’s picks, be sure to click on their previously selected films (listed after their names) and check them out. If you’re looking for more recommendations of great work by Black Filmmakers, check out our channel dedicated to them. Note, for much of the history of this site we did not track demographic data, so this category is woefully incomplete. If you’re an alum who should be included in this collection or know of one, please drop us a line. Enjoy!
