Inaugural Roger Ross Williams Award To Be Presented At The Americas Film Festival Of New York
The inaugural Roger Ross Williams award is being presented by City College of New York to the best doc by a CCNY BFA or MFA student.
“Roger has never taken the easy path and has always stayed true to his vision and firm in his beliefs — that’s exactly why his work matters, especially today,” commented Andrea Weiss and Antonio Tibaldi, co-directors MFA Program in Film, CCNY. Williams was featured in Deadline’s recent Disruptors magazine issue published at the Cannes Film Festival, discussing his production company One Story Up, and his intent to defy the Trump administration’s efforts to stigmatize Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion. “Embedded in a humanities education, the program nurtures students to discover their unique voice and provides them with the knowledge and diverse skills to enter an ever-changing media world.”
