Stark Color Picture Prize

Reelate is proud to announce a new award - the STARK COLOR PICTURE PRIZE - which will be awarded  at the 2017 Canton Film Fest to the maker of a short documentary film focused on an individual who brings "color" to Stark County. 

 

Reelate partnered with the Stark County District Library and Coming Together Stark County to award this prize.  The Stark County District Library and Coming Together Stark County have long been leaders in enabling, promoting  and developing Diversity initiatives here in Stark County.   

 

Our hope is that the short documentary films submitted to the 2017 Canton Film Fest will reflect some of the richness and difference that defines who WE are here in Stark County.  These films will be screened here on reelate.org and will be archived at the Stark County District Library.

Our national dialogue about equality and difference has been difficult during 2016.  Many have realized that they haven't been paying attention to the realities and issues that  racial, ethnic and social minorities facef.  #oscarsowhite made a link between some of these sad news stories about violence and inequality and the lack of diverse stories that emerge from Hollywood each year.  

 

We hope that the Stark Color Picture Prize will contribute to our understanding of our neighbors in a rich and rewarding way in the coming year.  If you haven't supported the Stark Color Picture Prize yet?  Thanks to more than 60 supporters, this prize was funded in a kickstarter campaign that concluded during May of 2016.
