The Florence Short Film Showcase in honor of Black History Month,
taking place on Friday, February 3, 6:00-11:00 PM, at the Southeastern
Institute of Manufacturing & Technology (1951 Pisgah Road in Florence, SC),
is an occasion to screen Black-themed short films in a concentrated setting to
bring awareness to the art of short films and creative content by and about
Blacks from the African Diaspora.
The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences defines a short
film as “an original motion picture that has a running time of 40 minutes or
less, including all credits.” With the Florence Short Film Showcase, it is a
unique opportunity to promote the arts in the form of film, possibly inspiring
community residents to become filmmakers. It only takes a digital camera or
smart phone, and computer to become the next Tyler Perry or Steven Spielberg.
All invited films for screening at the Florence Short Film
Showcase, acquired through the South Carolina Film Commission and an
international appeal, are directed/produced by a Black person, tells a story of
the Black experience, and/or features a Black person in a leading role.
