TRIBECA AND CHANEL ANNOUNCE 2ND ANNUAL THROUGH HER LENS: THE TRIBECA CHANEL WOMENS FILMMAKER PROGRAM
The three-day workshop in collaboration with Pulse Films, supported by Tribeca Film Institute , provides project support, master classes and mentorship for emerging female filmmakers, and awards $100,000 in filmmaker grants
Leadership committee includes Shari Springer Berman, Dakota Fanning, Rashida Jones, Jenni Konner, Catherine Hardwicke, among others
NEW YORK, NY- October 20, 2016 -Tribeca Enterprises and CHANEL announced today the second annual THROUGH HER LENS: The Tribeca Chanel Womens Filmmaker Program, which balances industry support, artistic development and funding, for new and emerging U.S.-based female writers and directors of short-form narrative films. The multi-faceted program, presented by Tribeca and CHANEL, in collaboration with Pulse Films, and facilitated by Tribeca Film Institute (TFI), has selected five emerging female filmmakers to receive project support, and take part in master classes, one-on-one mentorship, and peer-to-peer sessions. At the end of the program each of the five filmmakers will pitch her project to a jury of industry experts. One filmmaker will be awarded full financing to produce her short film, along with support of Tribeca Studios and Pulse Films to make the project, and the four other projects will each be awarded grant funds to continue the development of their films.
The three-day program will take place in New York City October 25-27 and cover a variety of topics, including script-to-screen development, story structure, casting, finding collaborators, and working with music composers, costume designers, and editors, as well as festival strategy and distribution. Participants, along with one female producing partner each, will attend master classes, have individual mentoring sessions with industry experts, meet distributors, and new this year participants will work with writing mentors to refine their stories while working towards a presentation of their projects.
We share with CHANEL the goal to bring to light the next generation of women storytellers, said Tribeca Enterprises EVP, Paula Weinstein. We are thrilled to be embarking, for the second year, on an intense three-day program created for these five extraordinary rising talents. They will be supported, guided and mentored by women who share with us the desire to foster the work of new women filmmakers.
Supporting these gifted women is paramount to our mission at TFI to empower a more inclusive group of storytellers and give them the tools necessary to reach wider audiences, said Amy Hobby, Vice President of Artist Programs at TFI. We're excited to bring TFI's successful model of pairing monetary backing with sustained, hands-on mentoring to this groundbreaking program, along with our friends at Tribeca Enterprises, for the second year.

DISPLACEMENT THERAPY written by Joey Ally. A young married couple, trapped in the limbo of baby up or split up, is trying Displacement Therapy, a controversial new treatment that uses lookalike robots as vessels onto which to displace their feelings toward each other...by using them as literal punching bags. As communication shuts down, and bodies pile up, they are called to ask themselves whether it is the symptom or the cure that will kill them. Joey Ally is a writer/director and a 2016 fellow of the AFI Directing Workshop for Women.
