Tribeca Film Fellows® - Application

Each year, Tribeca Film Institute® (TFI) invites emerging filmmakers, ages 16–18, to participate in a year-round fellowship program that fosters their creative, professional, and academic skills. Through this fellowship, students gain a deeper knowledge of the power of film to influence social change through intensive workshops, direct contact with seasoned filmmakers and the local and global leaders framing the issues.
Fellows work closely with a professional film mentor who helps them develop their film proposals and pitch their projects in competition for a college scholarship in the amount of $2,500. In addition, Fellows are eligible for continued production support for their films through grants and access to filmmaking equipment and organizational resources. Throughout the year Fellows receive individual academic support in preparation for statewide and nationwide exams, including Regents and the SAT, as well as support in the college application process.
This spring, TFI will select twenty of the most promising student filmmakers to participate in the Tribeca Film Fellows® Program.
