TRIBECA AND CHANEL SUPPORT WOMEN FILMMAKERS THROUGH THE 3RD ANNUAL THROUGH HER LENS: THE TRIBECA CHANEL WOMENS FILMMAKER PROGRAM

Leadership committee Amma Asante, Ilene Chaiken, Dakota Fanning, Donna Gigliotti, Mira Nair, Elizabeth Olsen, Rachel Weisz, among others
NEW YORK, NY- October 12, 2017- NEW YORK, NY- October 12, 2017 - Continuing their commitment to creating new opportunities for a new generation of women filmmakers and writers, Tribeca Enterprises and CHANEL announced today the third annual THROUGH HER LENS: The Tribeca Chanel Womens Filmmaker Program. The program was created to provide a balance of industry support, artistic development and funding for new and emerging, U.S.-based female writers and directors of short-form narrative films.
Presented by Tribeca and CHANEL, in collaboration with Pulse Films, and facilitated by Tribeca Film Institute (TFI), the multi-faceted program, 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 to make the project, and the four other projects will each be awarded grant funds to continue the development of their films.
The filmmakers will convene for three days in New York City, October 17-19, for an in-depth, intimate program concentrating on script-to-screen development, casting, finding collaborators, and working with music composers, costume designers, and producers. Selected participants, along with one female filmmaking partner each, will attend master classes and have individual mentoring sessions with leading women in filmmaking, meet distributors, and refine their pitching skills. During the summer, each filmmaker was given the opportunity to work with writing mentors to shape and refine her project.
We created THROUGH HER LENS with CHANEL three years ago to support and nurture female artists through mentorship and funding, said Paula Weinstein, EVP of Tribeca Enterprises. Since then, we've built a community of incredible women storytellers who recognize how critical it is to discover and empower female filmmakers. Were excited to welcome this next generation of rising talent to the program.
We're thrilled to give such a talented new class of filmmakers the opportunity to participate in THROUGH HER LENS, said Amy Hobby, Executive Director of TFI. The program, and advancing the careers of female filmmakers in general, is an important part of our year-round work elevating diverse storytellers in order to advance racial, gender and economic equity.
The Leadership Committee participating in the program includes:
MASTER CLASS ADVISORS: writer/director Amma Asante MBE (Belle, A United Kingdom, Where Hands Touch), actor Dakota Fanning ( The Alienist, Brimstone, The Runaways), producer Donna Gigliotti (Hidden Figures, Silver Linings Playbook, Shakespeare in Love), composer Laura Karpman (Paris Can Wait, Underground), producer Riva Marker (Stronger, Beasts of No Nation), and costume designer Sandy Powell (Wonderstruck, Carol, The Aviator).
JURORS: director/producer Mira Nair (Salaam Bombay!, Monsoon Wedding, Queen of Katwe), producer Paula Weinstein ( Grace and Frankie, The Perfect Storm, Recount), and actor/producer Rachel Weisz (Disobedience, The Lobster, The Constant Gardner, My Cousin Rachel).
MENTORS: producer Caroline Baron ( Mozart in the Jungle, Capote, Monsoon Wedding), writer/executive producer Ilene Chaiken (The L Word, Empire, The Handmaid's Tale ), writer Leslie Dixon (Mrs. Doubtfire, Limitless, Hairspray), casting director Ellen Lewis (Goodfellas, The Wolf of Wall Street, The Irishman), actor Elizabeth Olsen (Wind River, Ingrid Goes West, Avengers: Infinity War), and producer Celine Rattray (The Kids Are All Right, American Honey).
WRITING MENTORS: producer Effie T. Brown (Fox's Star, Dear White People, Project Greenlight ), producer Lucy Fisher (The Great Gatsby, Memoirs of a Geisha, The Divergent Series), president of TriStar Hannah Minghella (Trainspotting 2, Baby Driver), and director/writer/producer Robin Swicord (The Jane Austen Book Club, Memoirs of a Geisha, Little Women).
The selected projects and filmmakers are:
VUELA - Marianne Amelinckx (Writer/Director). Venezuela could have been one of the richest countries in the modern world, but ineffective government policies and corruption have made the country one of the most dangerous places to live. Vuela (Fly) tells the story of a chance encounter between Luisa and Monica just before they take off to different countries and leave everything behind them, including the opportunity to get to know each other. Marianne Amelinckx is a Venezuelan writer/director whose passion for storytelling led her to write and direct Salta, a very personal short film that premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival in 2017. Vuela is the second short film of the trilogy: Salta, Vuela, Corre. She is also currently working on 39 bedrooms', a personal blog that might turn into her first feature film.
WINGMEN - Nicole Emanuele (Writer/Director). Sarah's bachelorette party is all cigarettes and penis shots, until she and her best friend Marie get the call to report for active duty the next day. They've been
