30th Annual Black Harvest Film Festival Opening Night
NBC Chicago entertainment reporter LeeAnn Trotter will emcee the night, presiding over a showcase of select Black Harvest Film Festival short films and the announcement of the winners of the Richard and Ellen Sandor Family Black Harvest Film Festival Prize. This year marks the seventh year that a $1,000 prize will be awarded to a short film, and the fourth year a $2,500 prize will honor a feature film. This year, the Sergio Mims Prize for Excellence in Black Filmmaking, a cash award of $5,000, will also be awarded to a local Chicago filmmaker whose work is included in the Black Harvest lineup. The winning films will be announced, as selected by the Black Harvest Film Festival jury, featuring pioneering and legendary filmmaker Julie Dash (DAUGHTERS OF THE DUST), RogerEbert.com associate editor Robert Daniels, and award-winning filmmaker Raven Jackson (ALL DIRT ROADS TASTE OF SALT). Following the program, attendees are cordially invited to a reception in the lobby.
