Filmmakers:

The Oak Park Black Film Festival celebrates African-American stories and history, aiming to amplify Black voices and narratives within the film industry.

Films must be by a writer, director, and/or producer who is a person of color (including but not limited to East Asian, South Asian, Black, African-American, Latino, and Pacific Islander) AND/OR feature people of color in the cast/storyline.

We are no longer accepting film submissions for the 2026 Festival.

Please check back in January to submit films for the 2027 Oak Park Black Film Festival.
