Deadlines for both grants: November 5, 2012
1) Tribeca Film Institute Invites Entries With Scientific Themes for Sloan Filmmaker Fund
With support from the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation, the Tribeca Film Institute Sloan Filmmaker Fund provides grants and professional guidance in support of innovative and compelling narrative features that offer a fresh take on scientific, mathematic, and technological themes.
Funding is available for films at any stage, and for filmmakers based anywhere. Applicants are required to apply with a treatment or a feature-length screenplay, with or without a director attached. Consideration will be given not only to the creative merit of each project, but to the accuracy of the script's scientific content, as well as the team's ability to see the project through to completion.
Three to six filmmakers will receive a grant of $25,000 to $50,000 to use toward the development, production, or post-production of a film project. Grantees will participate in panels, workshops, and one-on-one meetings with industry executives during the 2013 Tribeca Film Festival. In addition, grantees will receive professional guidance and mentorship through the Tribeca Film Institute as dictated by the unique needs and status of the project and the level of experience of the filmmaking team.

Deadline: November 5, 2012
2) Tribeca Film Institute Announces Guidelines for Documentary Fund
The Tribeca Film Institute Documentary Fund provides grants and guidance to exceptional filmmakers with character-driven nonfiction works-in-progress that sit outside of the social issue landscape. By supporting work that engages in unexplored perspectives, the fund aims to help take audiences into someone else's environment and spotlight the journey of the individual.
Submissions must be feature-length documentaries with an intended length of at least seventy minutes and should creatively document one or more unique characters. Submissions can be in the advanced stages of development, production, or post-production but must not have aired on any form of television, been screened publicly, or have been distributed in theaters or online prior to February 2013. Submitted films must show enough footage to highlight character, unique access, and storytelling ability.
Foreign language documentaries are eligible but must be subtitled and suitable for an American audience.
The program is open to filmmakers anywhere in the world. Applicants must be 18 years of age or older. Student films and documentary short films are not eligible.
Grants of at least $10,000 will be awarded.
The program will accept submissions beginning September 5, 2012, and close November 5, 2012.
