ABOUT
Colour Me In (CMI) is TNBFC’s initiative designed to increase access to films that truly represent people of colour. We work hand-in-hand with community groups, cultural venues, and emerging exhibitors to bring authentic stories to audiences who have long been overlooked.
What we offer
We provide tailored support to help partners design, deliver, and sustain film exhibitions. Depending on their needs, this can include:
Programming: Selecting and curating films that resonate with your audience.
Marketing & Social Media: Reaching and growing your community.
Administrative Support: Easing the logistics so you can focus on impact.
Sustainability Resources: Including licensing, membership, fundraising and training.
Aftercare: Ongoing guidance so your exhibition journey continues beyond one season.

why colour me in?
For too long, Black-led film exhibitions have faced barriers to sustainability, visibility, and growth.
Colour Me In addresses these challenges by providing the support and resources needed to create long-lasting independent film events that can thrive beyond a one-off screening.
Who We Work With:
Community groups looking to introduce film screenings into their cultural offering.
Venues wanting to expand their reach with more diverse programming.
Black filmmakers and exhibitiors who need help building and connecting with audiences.
