Lights, camera, action! Chanel and Tribeca are marking the 10th anniversary of Through Her Lens: The Tribeca Chanel Women's Filmmaker program with serious star power thanks to celebs like Meghann Fahy and Issa Rae.

Dimitrios Kambouris/WireImageThe three-day event, which kicks off in New York City on Tuesday, Sept. 16, and runs through Thursday, Sept. 18, will give U.S.-based women and non-binary filmmakers a chance to experience creative support, funding, and career-launching opportunities.

Participants will refine their ideas with script development, music composition, and costume design insights from Sarah Paulson, Kerry Washington, and Jane Fonda, in between enjoying candid conversations with Lucy Liu, Olivia Wilde, Tessa Thompson, and more industry leaders. Dimitrios Kambouris/WireImageThe workshop ends with a live pitch session, where finalists will present their projects to a jury that includes Fahy and Rae, plus Jenny Slate, Allison Janney, and Kaitlyn Dever. One team is then granted full financing to make their short film with support from Tribeca Studios, while the four additional teams will walk away with development grants."Through Her Lens isn't just a program - it's a community Tribeca and CHANEL have built with purpose," Jane Rosenthal, Co-Founder and CEO of Tribeca Enterprises, said in a press release.

Courtesy of Tribeca"Throughout these ten years, we've created a space where women filmmakers champion each other's work, alumni open doors for one another, and belonging to this network truly means something in our industry. In partnership with CHANEL, we've been steadfast in our commitment to amplify voices that have always been here but too often go unheard," she added."Through Her Lens is about consistency, perseverance, and meaningful change - the kind that shifts the very fabric of our culture at a moment when it's needed most," Rosenthal said.RELATED CONTENT:VideoIssa Rae's Golden Globes Fashion Directive Was to 'Look Like a Shiny Penny' (Exclusive)Style2024 Academy Women's Luncheon: See all the Chic LooksStyleLeslie Mann and Maude Apatow Have a Mother-Daughter Date in New YorkMoviesJane Fonda, Lucy Liu and More Come Together for Through Her LensTags:Meghann FahyIssa RaeSarah PaulsonKerry WashingtonAllison JanneyKaitlyn DeverJenny SlateLucy LiuTessa ThompsonOlivia WildeUpdates on Celebrity News, TV, Fashion and More!By clicking "Sign Up", you confirm that you have read and agree to the Terms of Use and acknowledge our Privacy Policy.
