From the Margins to the Blueprint: Building the Future of Public Media Around Filmmakers of Color

Part 2: Life After CPB

The Corporation for Public Broadcasting has been defunded. What happens now? Leaders across the public media ecosystem will join us for a candid conversation about where things stand today and what it means for filmmakers of color. As organizations who have navigated the fallout in real time, they’ll also share the strategies they’ve used to chart a new path forward and what they’re learning in the process. 

Featuring Carrie Lozano (President & CEO, ITVS), Loira Limbal (President & CEO, Firelight Media), Robert Chang (Co-Producer of POV, American Documentary) and Don Young (Executive Director, Center for Asian American Media) in conversation with Thuy Tran (Cultural Strategist).

This is part of a three-part keynote discussion that takes an honest look at the state of public media: where we’ve been, where we are now, and where we’re headed – all while centering the communities at the heart of this work.
