The Tribeca Film Institute
The Tribeca Film Institute creates innovative programs that draw on the unifying power of film to promote understanding, tolerance, and global awareness. Our commitment is to educate, entertain and inspire filmmakers and audiences alike while strengthening the artistic and economic fabric of New York City and its lower Manhattan community. The cornerstone of the Program's activities is the Media Arts Fellowships, which support the creation of new works that bring innovation to the media arts. Whether through new technologies or classical traditions, artists who receive Fellowships are encouraged to redefine, invent, explore, create and recreate visions and stories that reflect our diverse culture. Artists may be at any stage of career development, from emerging makers to those well-established in their careers. The Media Arts Fellowships consists of three distinct components, each awarded annually: The Film and Video Fellowships support media artists in the U.S. working in the broad categories of Documentary, Narrative, Experimental or Video Installation. Each of the 14 Film and Video Fellows is awarded $35,000. The New Media Fellowships support media artists in the U.S. whose work centers around interactive, dynamic media, including, but not limited to, such computer-mediated forms as web art, robotics, virtual reality, biotechnology, interactive installations and software art. Each of the 6 New Media Fellows is awarded $35,000. The Media Arts Fellowships in Mexico support Mexican media artists working in Documentary, Narrative, Experimental, Video Installation or New Media. Each of the 6 Media Arts Fellows in Mexico is awarded $20,000. Tribeca Film Institute |
