--- We are now accepting applications for the 2009 Robert Flaherty Film Seminar Fellowship Program Deadline: March 13, 2009 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The Flaherty offers three types of Fellowships which provide economic support to applicants interested in attending the Seminar: Professional Development , Student, and Philadelphia Foundation All fellowships are highly competitive. While preference is given to first-time applicants, you may apply multiple times, and may receive fellowships up to two times, in nonconsecutive years. For eligibility requirements and more information on our fellowships, please go to www.flahertyseminar.org. Professional Development Fellowships: The Professional Development Fellowship is designed for emerging or mid-career professionals such as filmmakers, programmers, writers, scholars, archivists, and media professionals. Awards are partial grants that cover a portion of the registration fee. Grants are applied directly towards registration for the Seminar. Student Fellowships: The Student Fellowship Program is led by an academic who has attended previous Flaherty Seminars and is designed to further your knowledge of cinema through participation in an array of unique discussions. Fellows will also participate in all general Seminar activities. The program is rigorous and rewarding; it includes selected readings, special meetings with guest artists and other professionals, and smaller discussions with other Fellows. Student fellowships are open to undergraduate and graduate students currently enrolled in a degree program. All majors are welcome; we select a diverse array of students from throughout the U.S., as well as internationally. We look for students who have the capacity to interact in both small and large groups, and be willing to share their passion for film. Awards are partial grants that cover a portion of the registration fee. Grants are applied directly towards registration for the Seminar. Philadelphia Foundation Fellowships: Through a generous grant from the Philadelphia Foundation, fellowships are now available for qualified Philadelphia residents to attend the 55th Robert Flaherty Film Seminar. Awards cover transportation to the Seminar and the full registration fee, which includes all lodging, meals, Seminar screenings, activities and functions for the week. Fellowships are open to both students and professionals (please mark "Philadelphia Fellowship" on our application form). Previous fellowship recipients are eligible for one additional fellowship after a one-year hiatus Other Financial Grants Available: Employees of New York State Non-Profit organizations focusing on media arts may apply for a grant to attend the 2009 Robert Flaherty Film Seminar through the Experimental Television Center.
