grant for emerging filmmakers

Pentimenti Productions, the arts nonprofit and film production company behind the critically acclaimed 2014 documentary "Hairy Who & The Chicago Imagists," and the recently released 3D feature-length film about artist H.C. Westermann, "Westermann: Memorial to the Idea of Man If He Was an Idea," is pleased to announce the re-opening of the Pentimenti Emerging Filmmakers Grant.

This grant endeavors to support work by up-and-coming women, non-binary, and/or LGBTQ+ filmmakers. In keeping with Pentimenti’s mission, eligible projects must pertain to art or artists in some capacity, although they needn’t necessarily be a documentary. The recipient of the Emerging Filmmakers Grant will be determined by a selection committee and approved by Pentimenti’s board.
