Tribeca Festival And CHANEL Present A Through Her Lens Conversation On June 6

Riley Keough and production partner Gina Gammell will discuss new limited series In Process

New York, NY, May 15, 2025 - The Tribeca Festival and CHANEL today announced a new THROUGH HER LENS Conversation: In Process featuring actor, writer, director and CHANEL Ambassador Riley Keough, alongside her creative partner, writer and director Gina Gammell. The conversation will follow a screening of three short clips inspired by THROUGH HER LENS from their new limited series, In Process, on Friday, June 6 at 4:00 p.m. at Metrograph during the Tribeca Festival. Moderated by Australian-Chinese filmmaker, writer, and producer Margaret Zhang, the discussion will explore the creative journey behind the clips which offer an intimate look into the nature of female creativity and the artistic process.

Founded in 2015, THROUGH HER LENS: The Tribeca CHANEL Women's Filmmaker Program provides ongoing support and mentorship to emerging filmmakers, fostering the next generation of creative voices in film.

Riley and Gina are exactly what Through Her Lens is about-women owning the frame and making damn sure they're not the last ones through the door, said Jane Rosenthal, Co-Founder and CEO of Tribeca. Mentorship is more than advice-it's about showing what's possible and paving the way forward. That's at the core of Tribeca and CHANEL's shared mission to drive lasting change in the industry.

These dynamic industry leaders will discuss their artistic process, the challenges of filmmaking, and the vital role mentorship programs play in empowering the next generation. Keough will reflect alongside Gammell on the creative journey and inspiration behind In Process, which offers an intimate look at craft form and the pulse of creation.

The THROUGH HER LENS Conversation: In Process is free and open to the public, continuing the program's commitment to amplifying women's voices in film. Please register for the event here.

THROUGH HER LENS: The Tribeca CHANEL Women's Filmmaker Program is a mentorship initiative that offers support, artistic development, and funding to emerging U.S.-based self-identifying women and non-binary filmmakers. The program's Advisory Committee - consisting of Jane Fonda, Patty Jenkins, Laura Karpman, Greta Lee, A.V. Rockwell, and Kerry Washington - guides its evolution, brings in new collaborators, and offers direct consultation to participating filmmakers.

Each year, the program includes a three-day immersive workshop with one-on-one mentorship and intimate participant workshops 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, culminating in a final presentation to a jury of industry experts. One team is selected to receive full financing to produce their short film with support from Tribeca Studios; the remaining four projects are awarded development grants.

Submissions for the 2025 THROUGH HER LENS program are now open. The 10th annual workshop will be held in September 2025. For more information, visit tribecafilm.com/throughherlens.

Over the past decade, THROUGH HER LENS has made a significant impact on the industry. 45 short films have been developed, with eight fully funded winners premiering at major festivals like Sundance and TIFF and securing distribution through platforms such as Max, Searchlight, and Criterion. Eight of the nine winning filmmakers are women of color, and over 70 percent of all participants are women or non-binary people of color. Alumni of the program have gone on to direct critically acclaimed projects, including A.V. Rockwell's A Thousand and One, Numa Perrier's The Perfect Find, and Nikyatu Jusu's Nanny.

CHANEL has a long-standing commitment to nurturing independent voices in storytelling and helping to ensure that the future creative voices better reflect the diversity of our world. The partnership between CHANEL and Tribeca, which commenced in 2005, has been enriched over the past 20 years to help nourish women filmmakers with supportive programming year-round.
