TFI/WorldView Partnership Grant Added to Latin America Fund

Today we've announced a new grant for the TFI Latin America Media Arts Fund, the TFI/WorldView Partnership. The grants, which this year total over $90,000 — the  most in the fund’s four year history and over 30% more than last year’s awards — support innovative film and video artists living and working in the Caribbean, Mexico, Central and South America. The TFI Latin America Media Arts Fund’s grants are awarded to feature-length documentaries, animated films, or hybrid films that are story-driven and in advanced stages of development, production or post-production with no U.S. or Latin American distribution in place. The new partnership with WorldView will award three additional $10,000 development grants to filmmaking teams based in Latin America and the Caribbean. Fund recipients will be announced at the Tribeca Film Festival in April. The Fund is sponsored by Moviecity and Canacine. In addition to its support of filmmakers based in Latin America and the Caribbean, the Latin America Fund will also continue to provide grants to Latino filmmakers 21 and older living and working in the U.S. through the Heineken VOCES Grant, which supports feature-length narrative and documentary projects in all stages of production that explore stories reflecting diverse cultures.

Submissions for the TFI/WorldView Partnership open Sept. 5. Read the press release.
