IRS990/Desc0Berkeley Film Foundation SUMMARY OF ACCOMPLISHMENTSBFF-funded documentaries reach audiences worldwide and tackle difficult topics such as mental illness, civil and human rights, gender, the environment, economic policy, and other social justice issues. Other films present a first or fresh look at local artists and those who are coming-of-age.In the 2018 grant cycle, more than 120 applications were submitted and $229,000* was awarded to 19 professional filmmakers plus seven student filmmakers from UC Berkeley, San Francisco State University and Berkeley City College. *This is the largest dollar amount that BFF has allocated in 9 grant cycles.Since 2009, BFF has awarded 140 grants totaling over $1.5 million, including 43 student grants.The annual $25,000 Saul Zaentz Award went to Bryan Gibel and A.K. Sandhu, for their film, Sign My Name to Freedom, about Betty Reid Soskin, the oldest U.S. park ranger. Before becoming a ranger, Betty was a singer/songwriter in the 1960s and 70s, with a voice like Billie Holiday and the relevance of Nina Simone. The annual $20,000 Al Bendich Award went to Shareef Nasir and Dana Nachman whose film, Case 993 dives into the contested history surrounding the assassination of Malcom X. This year BFF welcomes back the City of Emeryville as a funder. Their $10,000 grant went to Emeryville filmmaker Andres Alegria for Song for Cesar and Rick Tejada-Flores film Troubled Water. Berkeley FILM Foundation grants help filmmakers leverage more financial support and awards.Two 2018 student BFF grant winners from UC Berkeley Graduate School of Journalism Grace Oyenubi and Nani Walker were nominated in the Student Academy Awards category by AMPAS for their film: Forced.2013 grant winners Quinn Costello and Chris Metzler continue to rack up impressive awards for the film Rodents of Unusual Size, including Best of Festival Award at the Wild & Scenic Environmental Film Festival, Special Jury Award at Mendocino Film Festival, and Excellence in American Profiles Award at SF Docfest. The film has screened in more than 60 locations throughout the U.S.2018 BFF-grant winners Frances Causey and Jed Riffe have been busy screening the film, The Long Shadow at The Amsterdam International Filmmaker Festival of World Cinema, Mill Valley Film Festival, International Black Film Festival, St. Louis International Film Festival and dozens more.2018 winners Lacy Jane Roberts, Luisa Conlon and Hanna Millers film, We Became Fragments, was selected as a New York Times Op-Doc and recently won best documentary at the LA Shorts Fest which qualifies it to be considered for an Oscar Nomination!2013 Saul Zaentz award winners Catherine Ryan and Gary Weimberg were nominated for an Emmy this year for their film, My Love Affair with the Brain, about famed neuroscientist and former UC Berkeley professor Marian Diamond.2016 winners Katie Galloway and Dawn Valadezs film The Pushouts won Best Documentary at the Imagen Awards and is scheduled for a PBS broadcast in 2019.Professional development workshops and networking opportunities are hugely successful.We are incredibly proud of the professional development workshops and networking opportunities we are able to provide to the local filmmaking community.Thanks to a generous grant from The Fleishhacker Foundation, BFF has offered filmmaker workshops to the larger independent Bay Area film community since 2015, attracting hundreds of attendees each year. The spring and fall workshops are free and are held at The David Brower Center. Just some of the comments we have received:"Excellent panelists.""Information you can put to work."BFF is truly interested in building the community of independent filmmakers."Thank you so much for these workshops, theyre invaluable."This year, panelists Helen De Michiel, jesikah maria ross, and Elizabeth Miller presented their Shapeshifting Documentaries: A Toolkit for Filmmakers, a collaborative approach to doc filmmaking.
