THE TRIBECA CHANEL WOMEN'S FILMMAKER PROGRAM RETURNS FOR EIGHTH YEAR
MENTORSHIP AND GRANTS AWARDED TO EMERGING FEMALE AND NON-BINARY FILMMAKERS

NEW YORK, NY - Tribeca and CHANEL today announced the eighth annual THROUGH HER LENS: The Tribeca CHANEL Women's Filmmaker Program, taking place September 20 to 22, 2022. The celebrated program will welcome program finalists and jurors for in-person events while gathering esteemed industry leaders from around the globe for a program of workshops, classes, and peer-to-peer sessions for the filmmaker finalists.
Founded in 2015 by Tribeca and CHANEL and in collaboration with Pulse Films, the mentorship program provides industry support, artistic development, and funding to emerging U.S.-based self-identifying women and non-binary writers and directors. In a world that has seen so much change the need for THROUGH HER LENS is more vital than ever, with the program providing a crucial and continuing platform for stories that tell the triumphs and struggles of intrepid women and non-binary people.
Now more than ever, the unique perspectives of women need to be front and center in cinema, said Tribeca Co-Founder and CEO Jane Rosenthal. Tribeca's core belief is that art can change the world, and our long-standing partnership with CHANEL will pave the way for larger audiences to celebrate the power of storytelling through the lens of female and non-binary filmmakers.
The three-day immersive program will feature a hybrid of virtual and in-person one-on-one mentorship, intimate participant masterclasses focused on script-to-screen development, music composition, costume design, producing, and directing. Participants will work with mentors to shape and refine their projects and pitches, and at the conclusion of the program, each pair will pitch their projects to a jury of industry experts. One team will receive full financing to produce their short film with support from Tribeca Studios. The four other projects will be awarded grant funds to support their films' development.
To date, past fully supported projects have achieved noteworthy successes including: A.V. Rockwell's Feathers (2016), which was acquired by Fox Searchlight after it premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival; Nikyatu Jusu's Suicide by Sunlight (2017), which premiered at the 2019 Sundance Film Festival; 2018s ROSA, by Suha Araj, which premiered at BlackStar Film Festival in August 2020 and is now screening on HBOMax; 2019's CHAMP by Hannah Peterson which premiered at the 2022 Sundance Film Festival; and 2020's REST STOP by Crystal Kayiza which will premiere at the 2022 Toronto International Film Festival.
Tribeca and CHANEL have convened a diverse range of leading women and non-binary creators to share their experiences with, and provide curated guidance to, five teams of filmmakers that have been selected to receive project support for their upcoming short narrative films.
