THROUGH HER LENS brings together talented creators to support stories and the women who create them. said Tribeca Enterprises and Tribeca Film Festival Co-Founder and CEO Jane Rosenthal. Nurturing the next generation of women filmmakers is crucial work for our entire industry. This year, we've renewed our dedication to that work by pivoting to a virtual program that will immerse finalists in one-on-one mentorship sessions, as well as publicly-available Masterclass Conversations that will provide access and inspiration to film students and aspiring filmmakers.
Five teams of women filmmakers have been selected this year to receive project support for their short narrative films. Based on overwhelming support of leading women in the industry, Tribeca and CHANEL have assembled a diverse range of leading voices who will come together in a safe virtual environment to lend their time and share their experiences with the finalists.
The three-day immersive program will feature virtual one-on-one mentorship, intimate participant masterclasses,around script-to-screen development, casting, music composition, costume design, producing, and directing. Connected through technology, participants will work with mentors to shape and refine their projects and pitches. 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. Rockwells Feathers (2016), which was acquired by Fox Searchlight after it premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival, and Nikyatu Jusu's Suicide by Sunlight (2017), which premiered at the 2019 Sundance Film Festival. 2018s ROSA premiered at BlackStar Film Festival in August 2020 where it won Best Narrative Short.
