Top Black FilmMakers Working Today

While a person's race certainly has no correlation with the quality of the films they make, it unfortunately does affect the amount of opportunity they receive in Hollywood to make films. While Researching Black Directors I found that most end up working in television or suffer long periods of inactivity between their films.
Race also affects the type of stories that they tell. For those feeling a dearth of Movies about Black Culture, hopefully this list will introduce you to some directors/films about Black Culture/People that you never knew existed. Or just inform you on a few films that you may not have ever known were made by Black Directors.
*Any suggestions/criticisms are welcome. I've already incorporated a few into the list.

THIS IS THE FINAL LIST. ALL ENTRIES HAVE BEEN SUBMITTED. THE FINAL 9 FILM SHORTLIST IS LISTED AT THE TOP ALPHABETICALLY BY COUNTRY NAME. THE REST OF THE OFFICIAL SUBMISSIONS ARE LISTED AFTERWARDS, ALSO ALPHABETICALLY BY COUNTRY NAME
What's happens next?: --------------------------------------- (1)With the contenders finalized, the Academy will soon begin its series of official screenings of each of the 71 submissions, to be attended by blocs of volunteer voters from the branch (The rules don't require all the voters to see all the films; rather, voters are divided into separate blocs and each bloc is assigned a portion of the 71 submissions to vote on).
