On Wednesday, the Park City, Utah-based film festival and institute and software maker Adobe announced the launch of the Women at Sundance | Adobe Fellowship, which will honor five artists who identify as women. Recipients of the fellowship will be artists who work across different mediums that the Sundance Institute represents in its artist development programs, such as screenwriting, producing, directing and composing.
Recipients of the Women at Sundance | Adobe Fellowship will receive a $10,000 cash grant, admission to a Sundance Institute Lab or Program and mentorship from the staff at the Sundance Institute and Adobe. Each fellowship will be tailored to the accepted artist.
Adobe, a sponsor of the New Frontiers program at the festival, already supports the Institute's Momentum fellowship, a yearlong professional development initiative for artists from underrepresented communities, and its Outreach and Inclusion initiative by providing software, supporting the Mentors Award and mentorships.
“Film has the power to shape culture, politics and social norms. But that can’t happen without a diverse set of voices," Adobe evp and CMO Ann Lewnes said in a statement. "I’m incredibly proud of the role Adobe is playing to advance the role of women in film. Kathryn Bigelow remains the only woman to ever win an Academy Award in the director category and, sadly, it won’t happen at the 2020 Oscars either.
The Women at Sundance Sundance | Adobe Fellowship is just one of several fellowships available to artists and creators on the part of the Institute and other companies. Fellowships available include the Sundance Institute Asian American Fellowship, the Feature Film Program Latinx Fellowship, the Alfred P.
