TRIBECA FILM INSTITUTE ANNOUNCES 11 NEW PROJECTS FOR 10th ANNUAL TRIBECA ALL ACCESS PROGRAM
Program Celebrates Ten Years of Supporting Filmmakers with Diverse Backgrounds at Anniversary Celebration during the 12th Annual Tribeca Film Festival
Total of $150,000 in grants awarded to filmmakers
New York, NY (March 14, 2013) The Tribeca Film Institute (TFI) today announced projects selected for the 10th Annual Tribeca All Access (TAA) program. TAA will support each project with an initial $15,000 grant as well as offer year-round support, guidance, and resources for filmmakers to help advance their projects toward completion. The selections, programmed by Ryan Harrington, Director of Documentary Programming and Tamir Muhammad, Director of Feature Programming, encompass a wide range of works-in-progress by emerging and established filmmakers who come from statistically underrepresented communities.
Ten filmmakers with unfinished projects were selected out of 560 submissions from across the country to participate in the 2013 program. One additional project was selected to participate through TAA's six-year partnership with the Canadian Film Centre (CFC). TAA will present the 11 projects-6 narratives and 5 documentaries-at a three-day career-development program from April 22-24, during the 2013 Tribeca Film Festival (TFF), presented by American Express, April 17-28.
Two projects will be selected as recipients of the juried Tribeca All Access Creative Promise Awards, presented by the Time Warner Foundation and recognized at a ceremony on April 24. Selected by a jury of industry professionals based on the strength of the filmmakers' visions, the two awards will each provide an additional $10,000 grant to one documentary and one feature project. The program will culminate with the TAA 10th Anniversary Celebration on April 26.
Additionally, this year TFI will launch the TFI Professional Partnership, a new initiative that will continue TFIs commitment to supporting the careers and projects of their grantees, including those involved with TAA. The initiative will partner leading companies with a pool of talented filmmakers seeking ways to translate their skills into other areas such as television, web, marketing, and education. The TFI Professional Partnership will kick off with a professional development panel during the Festival. After the panel each partnering company will select at least two grantees for further one-on-one development and consideration for their business needs. Partnering companies include NBC Universal and Warner Bros.
Since its founding in 2003, TAA has championed 227 films and over 500 filmmakers who identify as members of a minority group, such as: 2007 TAA alum Cherien Dabis, whose latest feature May in Summer, opened the 2013 Sundance Film Festival. Past TAA-supported films have gone on to premiere at film festivals around the country, received distribution deals and garnered critical acclaim. These include titles such as:
When I Saw You, Palestine's official entry for the Academy Awards, directed by Ann-Marie Jacir (2012), winner of the NETPAC prize for Best Asian Film at the Berlin International Film Festival;
American Promise, directed by Michele Stephenson and Joe Brewster (2013), winner of the U.S. Documentary Special Jury Award for Achievement in Filmmaking at the Sundance Film Festival;
Four, directed by Joshua Sanchez (2009), winner of the Urbanworld Film Festival and Independent Spirit Award nominee;
Circumstance, directed by Maryam Keshavarz (2011), Audience Award-winner at the Sundance Film Festival;
Una Noche, directed by Lucy Mulloy (2012), winner of Best New Director at the Tribeca Film Festival and Best Script at the Brasilia International Film Festival;
Gideon's Army, directed by Dawn Porter (2011), alumni introduction to her producer HBO Documentaries, winner of the Best Editing Award at the 2013 Sundance Film Festival; and
Free Angela & All Political Prisoners, directed by Shola Lynch which will open in theatres nationwide on April 5, 2013 and is Executive Produced by Jada Pinkett Smith, Will Smith and Jay Z
When we founded TAA it was with a mission of amplifying the voices of artists who were not being heard, said Beth Janson, Executive Director of TFI. Ten years later, we are proud to have remained true to that mission and developed a tight-knit community of talented filmmakers. We are looking forward to expanding our family and celebrating ten years of community.
Our mission is to find innovative and powerful ways to discover, nurture and celebrate the next generation of storytellers, said Lisa Garcia Quiroz, President of the Time Warner Foundation. TAA is among the best new talent development programs in the industry. We are proud to call them partners and look forward to the next decade.
Five grants will be awarded to documentary projects in various stages:
Long Year Begin, Directed and Produced by Malika Zouhali-Worrall and David Osit - An icy vault in the Arctic Circle safely stores seeds from around the world, but there is no such vault for humans or nations. Long Year Begin offers a poetic meditation on humanity's perpetual quest for self-preservation.
Roots & Webs, Directed by Sara Dosa, Produced by Josh Penn - Amid the bustling frontier world of Oregon's matsutake mushroom camps, an unexpected father-son pair endures a tumultuous mushroom-hunting season. They grapple with wounds from Southeast Asian wars, attempting to find the high-priced mushroom before snowfall. An odyssey into the woods, into the memory of war and survival, Roots & Webs tells a story of family from enigmatic woodland realm.
