Tribeca and CHANEL kicked off the seventh annual THROUGH HER LENS, a three-day immersive program where entertainment’s most influential women gather around five emerging women filmmaker teams to provide one-on-one mentorship and intimate participant masterclasses.

In the end, one team will receive full financing to produce their short film with support from Tribeca Studios. The four other projects will be awarded grant funds to support their films’ development.

This year there are three supporting campaigns:
