The 12th Annual is here—and tickets are now available for our feature film lineup, taking place November 5-8 in Washington, DC!
Centered around the theme of ON THE RECORD: EVIDENCE IN AN AGE OF DOUBT, DX Fest invites audiences to discover compelling investigative films that uncover what those in power would rather keep hidden. At a time when accountability is under threat, these films show why it matters—and what it takes to pursue it.
View the feature film lineup at:

Also explore the DX Forum, featuring two days of panels and workshops built around the idea that the right to hold the government accountable belongs to everyone. Visit dxfest.com/schedule for details.

We’re overjoyed for our BPM PitchBLACK alums who were recognized in this year’s BlackStar Projects!

Top: Juan C. Dávila 📹 & Kmila Cienfuegos (PitchBLACK 2024) won Best Feature Documentary for ZENÓN AND THE REBEL BOATS✨

Bottom: Arlieta (AR•LEE•TAH) Hall, Brittany Alsot, Yvonne Welbon & crew (PitchBLACK 2025) won the Special Mention in Best Feature Documentary for FINDING YOUR LAUGHTER✨

Black Public Media is so proud to be a small part of these two very special films. Projects like these are incredibly timely and would be impossible to bring to life without support from people like you—our community of makers, funders, and cinephiles.

If you love these projects and want to help us continue telling stories that matter, please consider donating to Black Public Media today. Every dollar helps us fuel the future of Black stories!

Congratulations again to both teams and to our friends at Blackstar Film Festival!
