This grant provides three additional years of support to Barnard College to continue the partnership with Athena Film Festival to develop and celebrate films by and about women that focus on STEM themes and characters. Grant funds will support an annual showcase screening at the Athena Film Festival, followed by a panel discussion with scientists and filmmakers; four annual fellowships to support screenwriters with STEM-focused scripts who attend a lab and receive six months of mentorship; and a $20,000 annual Development Grant that goes to an Athena List finalist or winner with a STEM-themed script and which includes a public reading of the winning script that takes place during the festival.
