Jury: Joanna Calo, Beanie Feldstein, Lucy Liu, Da'Vine Joy Randolph & Olivia Wilde

NEW YORK, NY (September 4, 2022) - Tribeca and CHANEL today announced the ninth THROUGH HER LENS: The Tribeca CHANEL Women's Filmmaker Program, taking place September 17 to 19 in New York City. The artist development program convenes filmmaker finalists, jurors and esteemed industry leaders from across the globe for a series of events, workshops, conversations and peer-to-peer sessions.
Founded in 2015 by Tribeca and CHANEL, THROUGH HER LENS provides industry support, artistic development and funding to emerging U.S.-based self-identifying women and non-binary filmmakers. The program includes a three-day immersive workshop with one-on-one mentorship and intimate conversations focused on script-to-screen development, music composition, costume design, producing and directing. Participants work with mentors to shape and refine their projects and pitches, and at the conclusion of the program, each pair pitches their project to a jury of industry experts. One team receives full financing to produce their short film with support from Tribeca Studios. The four other projects are awarded grant funds to support their development.
I'm incredibly proud of our THROUGH HER LENS alumnae, a tremendously talented group of women filmmakers who are making waves within the industry, including A.V. Rockwell, Numa Perrier, Nikyatu Jusu, Kat Coiro, Sonejuhi Sinha, Gabriella Moses, Hannah Peterson, Ani Simon-Kennedy, Laura Moss, Caroline Lindy, Shuchi Talati, the list goes on, said Jane Rosenthal, co-founder and CEO of Tribeca Enterprises. Together with CHANEL, we are reshaping the landscape of Hollywood, and this year's class of emerging talent is no exception. I can't wait to see the ways in which they will leave their mark-we need their young, diverse voices and creativity now more than ever.
Established in 2023, the THROUGH HER LENS Advisory Committee - consisting of Jane Fonda, Patty Jenkins, Laura Karpman, Greta Lee, A.V. Rockwell and Kerry Washington - works to advance the program, bring in new collaborators and provide consultation to participating filmmakers.
