Subseries:
5.1. Application Packets, 1993
Content
SPF applicants were required to submit project proposals as well as project budgets
detailing funding sought from the BFHFI. Many applications include complete scripts,
while others provide treatments or storyboards. Other supplementary material commonly
found in application packets include press clippings, résumés, and letters of
recommendation. Sample works on videocassette included with submissions are identified
in the supplemental content to the applications; however, these videocassettes are
arranged and described separately in the series Videocassette Submissions.
The items listed under "Originally Submitted Supplemental Content" are those indicated
by the applicant as having originally been submitted to the BFHFI. In some cases
materials described in this section were returned to the applicant by the BFHFI and are
not held by BFC/A. This has been indicated where possible.
Except when unavailable, evaluation forms completed by the five judges, including
comments and responses to proposals and sample works, are filed with the application
packets.
Arrangement of the series follows the entry numbering system the BFHFI assigned to each
application packet.

5.2. Videocassette Submissions, 1985-1993
Content
Sidney Poitier Fellowship (SPF) applicants were asked to submit a 15-minute sample work
on a VHS videocassette. Video submissions vary in content from portions of the
work-in-progress proposed in the SPF application to previously completed works to
compilation reels. Applicants were offered the choice to have videocassettes returned
after judging, and for many applications in this series no video submission is held.
Videocassettes listed in this series were received with SPF application materials. For
some works-in-progress, a later version of the production was later submitted to the
BFHFI. A separate inventory of videocassettes submitted to other BFHFI competitions,
which includes these later versions, may be found in "Series 4. Black Filmworks &
the annual BFHFI Independent Film, Video & Screenplay Competition, 1987-2003 (bulk
1990-2003)":
http://purl.dlib.indiana.edu/iudl/findingaids/bfca/VAD4348. For some items,
the existance of a version submitted to the regular competition has been noted has been
noted, however this cross-listing is not comprehensive.
Arrangement of this series follows the entry numbering system BFHFI assigned to each
application packet.
