Inside Out Toronto has announced eight new recipients for its annual RE:Focus Fund, now in its fourth year of supporting women, non-binary, and/or trans filmmakers.
The Fund was initially launched in 2018 to address industry inequities through providing direct financial support to filmmakers telling 2SLGBTQ+ stories. The announcement was made today by Inside Out’s Director of Festival Programming, Jenna Dufton. This year’s selections includes feature, episodic and short projects from five countries including Canada, USA, United Kingdom, Malta and Chile. Since its inception, the fund has been designed to respond to the immediate needs of filmmakers, and works to eliminate barriers to career advancement.
The fund started as a travel grant program recognizing that trans, non-binary and women filmmakers were underrepresented in international festival attendance. The fund has distributed more than $200,000 in festival travel grants and professional development programs for filmmakers since its creation.“Since the beginning, the RE:Focus Fund post-production grant has aimed to eliminate barriers and put the resources they need directly into their hands,” says Inside Out’s Director of Festival Programming, Jenna Dufton. “We are honored to support eight new projects as they push toward the finish line. From experimental works out of Malta and Chile to narrative works from Canada and beyond, we are proud to platform these creatives telling a diverse range of 2SLGBTQ+ stories and do our part to ensure their full vision comes to life.”Inside Out Toronto 2SLGBTQ2+ Film Festival, held a hybrid in-person and online version of its annual festival and notable 2SLGBTQ+ Finance Forum in May 2022.
