ALERT! NYSCA FY22 Film Funding for Individual NYS Artists
Individual filmmakers interested in a grant from NYSCA can only apply via an eligible non-profit (like TWN, but there's many others). You NEED to read the guidelines to see if you and your project are eligible. You will have to submit proof of NYS residency as part of your application, and the activity and expenditures are for Jan - Dec 2022 only. Do not apply if your project received NYSCA before, and keep in mind, you can only apply every two years - so if you apply this year, you cannot apply next year, and you can only apply for one project and be the lead artist on one project application. To apply you must be the lead artist (not producer, but director, eg). The grant is a flat $10,000 - and the sole priority is creativity. If your project costs more than 10,000 (no matching needed) you do need to be able to list where you expect the other funds to come from. Note: in this round, documentaries at all stages of production, including pre-production, are allowed.
If you want to be considered for sponsorship through TWN, there's no fee to apply, though there will be a flat $500 admin fee if you receive the grant. Also, the project has to fit within our mission, and it has to be non-commercial. Please email fiscal_sponsorship@twn.org and you will be sent a questionnaire that will constitute the initial step in the application process.
TWN deadline for emails of interest: July 19 and the deadline for the final application to TWN (in order to submit to NYSCA) will be August 13.

The Women Outside and Camp Arirang:
Anti-Asian Misogyny and War
July 29, 2021, 7 PM EST
Join us as we view two films about the United States in Korea--The Women Outside: Korean Women and the US Military and Camp Arirang-- and hear from a panel of filmmakers, scholars, and activists.
2021 is the 71st anniversary of the Korean War--which has yet to end as no peace treaty has ever been signed. 28,500 American troops remain in South Korea, on 15 bases along with additional installations. The US military has been in place since the 1950-1953 fighting, initially to "protect against possible invasion from the North" and now with a broader mandate to protect US interests in Asia against all including China. What has been the cost to the Koreans, to the communities who have been evicted as bases enlarge, to the women who work in the camptowns surrounding the bases, and the related impact on Anti-Asian racism, misogyny, and violence?
The films will free stream from July 26-30, 2021 and the panel is on Thursday, July 29 at 7 pm EST. Your RSVP will give you links to both.

IN A PERFECT WORLD… Explores all the requisite dynamics of what it is to be a man raised by a single mother. The inspiration for the film came from the director's own relationship with her son who has a largely absentee father.
