Oscar Micheaux, a trailblazing filmmaker, created over 40 films addressing social issues and portraying complex Black characters. We honor his legacy by showcasing films fostering authentic Black storytelling in front and behind the camera with a commitment to continued innovation in Black cinema.

This year we received over 300 film submissions! Join us for a special screening of 'How to Sue the Klan' by local filmmaker John Beder and learn about the legacy of the Chattanooga Five.
