Points North Institute Announces 2024 Artist Fellowship Recipients Ahead Of Camden International Film Festival


The Points North Institute announced its 2024 Artist Programs recipients and the Points North Forum program ahead of the Camden Int'l Film Festival.

In the week leading up to CIFF, selected filmmaker fellows will participate in “mentor-led workshops and feedback screenings, which culminate in a series of 400+ industry meetings taking place both in person and online.” The institute noted that collectively, the artist programs will support 48 independent film projects in development that originate from 28 countries. Sean Flynn, program director and co-founder of the Points North Institute, said in a statement, “It is an incredible honor to create a vibrant space that supports artistic freedom and innovation for filmmakers from around the world, who are taking risks to share stories and reflect realities too-often ignored or misrepresented by mainstream media.” Confirmed pitch panelists include Opal H. Bennett (POV), Megan Gelstein (Catapult Film Fund), Keisha Knight (IDA), Kelsey Koenig (Impact Partners), Rebecca Lichtenfeld (InMaat Foundation), Monika Navarro (Firelight Media), Elaisha Stokes (Chicken & Egg Pictures), and Noland Walker (ITVS).
