Guests: Filmmakers Stanley Nelson and Marcia Smith chat about being recipients of the Black Public Media's 2026 Trailblazer Award.

Hosted by Janice Malone, Film Festival Radio is a conversation series that lives in the vibrant, unpredictable space where the film industry’s established paths and brand-new trails intersect. Each episode brings you voices from across the creative spectrum, from celebrated actors and directors familiar from television and major movies to the independent filmmakers whose work is lighting up festival circuits. The discussions naturally extend beyond just filmmaking, often touching on the interconnected worlds of sports and politics that influence and inspire the stories being told. This isn't a standard industry interview podcast; it’s built on the idea that the most compelling insights often come from mixing perspectives, where an Oscar-winner’s reflection sits alongside a first-time director’s breakthrough story. You’ll hear genuine, unrehearsed conversations about craft, the hustle of getting projects made, and the unique culture of film festivals themselves. The result is a consistently surprising and engaging listen that celebrates creative work at every level, offering a genuine sense of community and discovery in every episode. Tune in for a refreshingly broad view of the stories and people shaping what we watch.
