Tribeca Film Institute invites applications for Tribeca Film grants


The Tribeca Film Institute is a nonprofit arts organization that was founded in 2001 by Robert De Niro, Jane Rosenthal, and Craig Hatkoff. The institute offers grants and professional development opportunities to talented filmmakers and supports individual artists in the field. The institute offers several educational programmes from time to time that encourage other peoples of the industry to help New York City students learn filmmaking.

TFI is currently seeking applications for Tribeca Film grants. Submissions are open for four programs for narrative, non-fiction and new media filmmakers. The TFI Documentary Fund, the TFI Sloan Filmmaker Fund, Tribeca All Access and the TFI Latin America Media Arts Fund are all open for applications. Besides providing grants for filmmakers, these programs also include year-round support, resources and industry connections for the grantees, who will join in New York for events during the 2012 Tribeca Film Festival.
