Through an open-call process and peer jury, emerging BIIPOC directors (preference goes to Queens-based filmmakers) are showcased and receive cash awards.

This year's theme is coming of age! A three-member jury will pick 10 films that will be screened live at Jamaica Center for Arts and Learning, awarding a first place ($500) and second place prize ($300); we’ll have an audience pick ($300) as well.

Deadline: March 6th
