About this Event

The Columbus Film, Author & Photography Festival: Celebrating Black Creativity in Film, Literature, Photography, Music, and Dance.

The Columbus F.A.P. Festival encourages and supports the growing number of people in the arts. This festival aims to reward the accomplishments of like-minded artists who aim to create interesting content. This festival is for new and veteran artists, youth starting in middle school through adults.

Call for Entries is open with a completed production date after January 1, 2011 (for authors and photographers - work must be submitted for copywrite by date of submission). Films must be completed in production by August 15, 2025. A trailer must be submitted before the September 10, 2025 deadline date.

Our main goal is to shed light onto creators that deserve it and to form connections between genres of art. We want independent artists to get recognition that they deserve.

This is a three-day event!
