The Academy Foundation of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and
Sciences has awarded $450,000 to 24 U.S. film festivals for the
2010 calendar year, Festival Grants Committee chair Buffy Shutt
announced on Wednesday.
Two fests, the Nashville Film Festival and the New Orleans Film Festival, are in the second year of a three-year grant worth a total of $75,000. The Full Frame Documentary Film Festival and the Virginia Film Festival are each in the third and final year of a multi-year grant, which also amounts to a total of $75,000. While the grants are awarded for a variety of festival programs, organizers are encouraged to submit proposals intended to make festival events more accessible to the general public, provide greater access to minority and less visible filmmakers, and help strengthen the connection between filmmakers and the general public.
