ITVS Funds Diverse Filmmakers Through Open Call
In its 25th year, ITVS is committed to open access, transparency, and diversity. In that spirit, ITVS is proud to release filmmaker statistics from our first round of Open Call funding in 2016. Over 300 filmmakers applied for ITVS’ Open Call; 48 percent were women and 40 percent were filmmakers of color. First-time applicants made up 42 percent of funded filmmakers, demonstrating our unique position of bringing new and diverse voices to the American public.
ITVS funds programs from all points of view that bring new audiences to public television and expand civic participation by delivering diverse voices into the public sphere. ITVS begins its next round of open call for funding in July of 2016. We look forward to finding new and compelling stories to share with our viewers.
