You are making and two organizations that support BIPOC filmmakers will be coming to talk about what they do and how you might be able to benefit.

Firelight Media is a nonprofit supporting non fiction filmmakers of color, with a variety of possibilities - from labs to fellowships to grants and more. Founded by the team behind acclaimed filmmaker Stanley Nelson's Firelight films, Firelight has helped to nurture numerous award winning BIPOC filmmakers.

New York Foundation for the Arts (NYFA) supports filmmakers with grants and resources, including a special fund for women in film, music and theater, with a November 1st deadline.

With Monika Navarro, Firelight Media's Senior Director of Artist Programs, and Anna Wong, a Program Officer with NYFA Grants, who is coordinating the NYC Women’s Fund for Media, Music, and Theatre. A presentation of Third World Newsreel and the Documentary Forum at CCNY. Free and open to the public.

More than 100 years before the COVID-19 pandemic shut down the world and set off a wave of fear and anti-Asian sentiment, an outbreak of bubonic plague in San Francisco’s Chinatown unleashed a similar furor. It was the first time in history that civilization’s most feared disease—the infamous Black Death—made it to North America.

Scapegoated as the source of the disease early on, the Chinese community fought back against unjust, discriminatory treatment. The gripping story of the desperate race against time to save San Francisco and the nation from the deadly disease, PLAGUE AT THE GOLDEN GATE is based in part on David K. Randall’s critically acclaimed book, Black Death at the Golden Gate.

Watch the film now on the PBS website, and join Producer/Director Li-Shin Yu online as she talks about the making of this film, its significance now, and her own path from editing to leading a film.

A presentation of Third World Newsreel and the Documentary Forum at CCNY, and cosponsored by AAARI, the Asian American/Asian Research Institute at CUNY.
