The Diversity in Cannes Short Film Showcase is an initiative that works to celebrate black women in film, particularly in response to the underrepresentation of black women directors at the Cannes Film Festival. The showcase features short films directed by black women from the diaspora and includes awards such as Best Film, Best Cinematography, and Audience Choice. It has been associated with events and screenings, including one at UC Santa Barbara, and has a presence on social media platforms like Instagram and Facebook.
