New York City launches $5-million fund for women in film and theater, a first in the U.S.
- The fund, announced Thursday by the Mayor’s Office of Media and Entertainment, will provide grants to support film and theater projects by and about women. New York also will hold workshops and a film-financing conference designed to connect women with money for their projects; conduct a screenwriting competition that culminates in a series to air on New York’s Channel 25; broadcast an additional block of programming on Channel 25 devoted to women; and fund research about gender in the field of film directing.
This secondary source that I have found allows me to explore positive sides to my investigation, showing how there are campaigns out there creating a movement to support all women in film, whether they are in front or behind the camera. This connotes that there are small movements happening to try and break that stereotypical mould of a female character or even a female film-maker.
