The Tribeca Film Institute and Gucci announced today the launch of the Gucci Tribeca Documentary Fund for independent film-makers.
The initiative will offer finishing funds and post-production guidance to independent film-makers whose films 'promote social change and illuminate issues in need of comprehensive coverage currently missing from mainstream media'.
The Tribeca Film Institute will administer the Fund and offer grants totalling $80,000 to a minimum of three film-makers in 2008 and will be administered by the Tribeca Film Institute.
Tribeca and Gucci will work with a committee of documentary film-makers to select the recipients, who will be announced in summer 2008.
'We are so pleased to launch this finishing fund with Gucci.' Jane Rosenthal, Tribeca Film Institute's co-chairman of the board, said. 'It is our hope this new fund will not only aid film-makers in completing compelling documentaries but propel those stories into the mainstream.'
The Gucci Tribeca Documentary Fund is open to documentary film-makers who have projects in production or post production.
Film-makers will be required to submit a proposal along with a trailer, scene assemblage or rough-cut. Submissions open on February 5 2008 and must be postmarked by April 11 2008.
