Lucy Walker

This season we will present 120 shorts in over a dozen programs curated to compliment the theme and spirit of the films.

We’re happy to say that many, many grantees and alumni are heading to Sundance this year! Watch out for these great projects in 2014.

And no, it does not involve bar hopping in the Village in weird costumes (although it does involve superheroes!).

It’s been an exciting few months for our Filmmakers’ Fund Grantees. Join us in doing a little dance for them.

See Lucy Walker‘s award winning documentary, Waste Land about a superstar artist (Vik Muniz) and an inspiring group of scavengers in the world’s largest landfill. Opens THIS FRIDAY at the Angelika in NYC.

Vik Muniz is an internationally-acclaimed artist best known for his playful recreations of famous masterpieces using quotidian materials–the peanut butter and jelly Mona Lisa, for example. But coming from a lower class background in Brazil, Muniz is now developing an interest in breaking out of art world gags and doing something more global, more socially significant.
