THROUGH HER LENS: THE TRIBECA CHANEL WOMEN'S FILMMAKER PROGRAM RETURNS FOR SEVENTH YEAR

Providing Mentorship and Grants to Emerging Women Filmmakers

The Leadership Committee Includes: Amy Schumer, Gayle King, Marlee Matlin, Paula Weinstein, Ali Adler, Melissa Barrera, Kay Cannon, Jacqueline Durran, Misha Green, Soo Hugh, Zoe Lister-Jones, Laura Karpman, Leslie Mann, Tina Mabry, Adepero Oduye, Frida Torresblanco, DeWanda Wise, and Maria Zuckerman

NEW YORK, NY- October 12, 2019 - Tribeca and CHANEL affirm their commitment to creating new opportunities for women filmmakers for the seventh annual THROUGH HER LENS: The Tribeca CHANEL Women's Filmmaker Program, taking place October 12 through 14, 2021. The celebrated program will welcome program finalists and jurors for in-person events while gathering esteemed industry leaders from around the globe for a virtual 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.

THROUGH HER LENS has proven to be an important vehicle for women filmmakers, said Tribeca Enterprises and Tribeca Film Festival Co-Founder and CEO Jane Rosenthal. In a world that is in constant upheaval, its paramount to provide a reliable place where the ever-changing journey of women can continue to be told.

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. Rockwells 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 Festiva; and 2018s ROSA, by Suha Araj, which premiered at BlackStar Film Festival in August 2020 and is now screening on HBOMax. Upcoming projects include 2019's CHAMP by Hannah Peterson and 2020's REST STOP by Crystal Kayiza.

Tribeca and CHANEL have convened a diverse range of leading women creators to share their experiences with, and provide curated guidance to, five teams of women filmmakers that have been selected to receive project support for their upcoming short narrative films. The 2021 Leadership Committee includes:

MASTERCLASS ADVISORS: actor/producer Marlee Matlin (CODA, Children of a Lesser God), music composer Laura Karpman ( Lovecraft Country , What If ), producer Maria Zuckerman (Spencer, 100 Foot Wave ), actor/filmmaker Adepero Oduye (12 Years a Slave, Pariah), casting Alexa L.
