Kerry Washington Owns This Year’s Urbanworld Film Festival

Jennifer — Thu, 26 Aug 2010 20:31:10 +0000

Actress Kerry Washington is poised to own this year’s 14th annual Urbanworld Film Festival, presented by BET Networks. Not only will she serve as the festival’s ambassador, but she plays the lead in Tanya Hamilton’s “Night Catches Us,” which is slated to open the festival, that runs from September 16 to 19 in NYC. The world premiere of Ava DuVernay’s “I Will Follow,” will close the festival.

This year will see Urbanworld screen a total of 71 films, 22 of which will be making their world premieres. Highlights in the lineup include Nadil Elderkin’s “Bouncing Cats,” narrated by rapper/actor Common with Mos Def and Black Eyed Pea will.i.am; Qasim Basir’s “Mooz-lum,” starring Danny Glover and Nia Long; and Madeleine Sackler’s “The Lottery,” which explores the reasons behind the failures of the American public school system.

“This year’s program is rooted in our original mission: to shine a light on films and filmmakers whose artistic excellence is too often overlooked elsewhere,” said Stacy Spikes, founder of Urbanworld. “Through our partnership with BET, we are thrilled to introduce more than 20 world premieres in a true celebration of bright, bold multicultural filmmaking.”

In addition to the screenings, the festival will present the work of five Urbanworld Screenplay Competition finalists in live readings. Finalists include “Bag Ladies,” written by Tai Nelson; “Gracey,” written by Julian Breece; “Jean of the Joneses,” written by Alison Meghie; “Knife to a Gunfight,” written by Gemal Woods and “Osvaldo’s” written by Randy Wilkins.
