Emerging Visions is a creative symposium jointly curated by IFP and the Film Society of Lincoln Center, with generous support from the Royal Bank of Canada.
Held Monday, October 3rd during the 2011 New York Film Festival, IFP & Film Society of Lincoln Center will work in partnership to support 25 emerging directors selected from the Film Society’s emerging talent pool and from IFP’s programs: IFP Independent Filmmaker Labs, No Borders International Co-Production Market, Emerging Narrative, and Spotlight on Documentaries.
The goal of the day-long event is to introduce the 25 selected filmmakers to a solid peer network, advance their careers with introductions to key industry, and directly support their creative processes through workshops, case studies and pitch sessions. In addition, all will gain private mentorship from top directors and producers in the field who will offer advice, guidance and connections to filmmakers on both their current projects and their careers.
Filmmakers will also take part in a number of additional programs, initiatives and networking activities throughout 2012 to continue providing access and resources for each of these directors’ individual creative endeavors.
