Sisters in Cinema Announces Inaugural Fellowship Program

Sisters in Cinema (SIC) with support from Chicago Women’s Foundation LBTQ Giving Council has awarded three first-time feature filmmakers with a $2,500 grant for the production of a documentary film.

This program is an initiative created to support Black women and gender nonconforming non-fiction directors working on films that center LBTQ stories.

In this year-long fellowship award recipients receive a financial award, fiscal sponsorship and individually tailored mentorship focused on both professional and project development from Sisters in Cinema founder and CEO, Yvonne Welbon. The Sisters in Cinema Documentary Fellowship is by invitation only in its inaugural year.
