Sarah Jacobson Film Grant for Women Filmmakers

docsandtv — Sat, 13 Apr 2013 12:33:35 +0000

“The Sarah Jacobson Film Grant supports women “whose work embodies some of the things that Sarah stood for: a fierce DIY approach to filmmaking, a radical social critique, and a thoroughly underground sensibility.” This year we plan to give out grants of $2,000 each to support film projects in any stage of completion, from pre-production through distribution.

We are open to films of any length and genre, from documentary to experimental to narrative. We’re looking for projects that in some way embody Sarah’s spirit and represent the values that she articulated in her work—powerful representations of women, a do-it-yourself approach to filmmaking and life, and a passionate commitment to advancing equality without sacrificing fun. Check out some of our past winners’ projects by scrolling through the blog a bit.”

But unlike festivals which give away awards for filmmakers’ past work, the Rooftop Filmmakers Fund is an opportunity to help deserving filmmakers make their next movie. We’ve been screening films since 1997, and every filmmaker who has ever shown a film with Rooftop is eligible for our grants—now over 1,800 artists. Past grantees have included Sean Durkin’s Martha Marcy May Marlene, Benh Zeitlin’s Beasts of the Southern Wild and Glory at Sea, Johannes Nyholm’s Las Palmas, Lucy Walker’s The Tsunami and the Cherry Blossom, and dozens more.

Rooftop Films has seven grants available—four for feature-length films and three for short films. In 2012, Rooftop Films will give away over $23,000 in cash grants, and over $50,000 in equipment and services.”
