HOLLYWOOD - The Black Hollywood Film Festival is calling for entries for its inaugural outing, to be held Feb. 19-21, 1999 in Los Angeles. The non-profit festival was set up to help the careers of black directors and writers from North America through exhibition and competition of their films, and to bring independent works by black filmmakers to Southern California audiences. The event -- to be held at USC's School of Cinema-Television and in neighboring theaters -- will include an invitational program, with out-of-competition theatrical premieres of black filmmakers' works, including studio and made for cable productions.

The deadline for submissions for the fest is Sept. 30. Application forms can be obtained by calling Black Talent News, the leading sponsor, at (310) 226-8497 or (310) 348-3944, or by visiting the our website.

Tickets for festival screenings and opening and closing night festivities will be available Jan. 4, 1999. info@blacktalentnews.com
