BLACK TALENT The Portobello Post Super Shorts International Film Festival has launched The Black Talent Award. Portobello Post, organizers of the festival felt that an award needed to be lauched to acknowledge the underrepresented achievements of filmmakers from black and ethnic minority backgrounds in the UK. The BTA is an award given to any individual of diverse heritage who has demonstrated exceptional talent through shortfilmmaking in their chosen field (Directing, Producing, Writing or cinematography). This years BTA goes to Kole Onile-ere for 'The Virus'.
