Diverse Points of View

3 Cities. 3 Screenings. 3 Opportunities. Empowering current and future generations of artists currently underrepresented in front of and behind the camera, Diverse Points of View, a sponsored project of Fractured Atlas, a non-profit arts service organization, launches this year and will present arts and entertainment created from diverse / minority point of view in three cities: Atlanta, GA, Chicago, IL and Dallas, TX between February and April 2015. In each city, Diverse Points of View will conduct a four (4) day international film festival complete with workshops, panels, independent and studio films, fine art gallery, live music events, industry parties and plenty of networking mixers. Filmmakers, film, TV, music, art and entertainment executives and celebrities are invited to participate in the event developed to highlight the creative work of minority artists from around the world. The excitement doesn’t end in April 2014. At the awards ceremony in the last city, the Best of the Fest winner will be announced. At the Academy Awards ceremony held every year, minority filmmakers are gaining in recognition yet continue to be underrepresented. Are the skills needed to make a major film truly restricted to the male majority? Claim your voice. Celebrate self-expression. Artistic innovation and experimentation welcome.
