The Tribeca Film Institute (TFI) has announced the recipients of its 2008 Media Arts Fellowships founded and supported by the Rockefeller Foundation.
This year TFI awarded $715,000 to 22 film-makers and media artists. The Fellowships offer financial support for artists working in the narrative, documentary, experimental, installation and computer-generated media genres.
The Media Arts Fellowships recognise the artistic excellence of 20 film, video and new media artists in the US with cash awards of $35,000 each. The programme also awards two additional Fellowships of $7,500 each to emerging film and video artists.

In addition to the Media Arts Fellowships, TFI awards funds through Tribeca All Access, The Tribeca/Sloan Screenplay Development Program and the Gucci Tribeca Documentary Fund throughout the year.
