We’re thrilled to announce the participants for the 2024 FLC Artists Academy and FLC Critics Academy!
Taking place during #NYFF62, the mission of these programs is to support the next generation of film artists and critics and to foster a film culture that embraces diverse storytelling and points of view.
The FLC Artists Academy, led by award-winning filmmaker Stacey Marbrey, taps into the rich New York film community to offer an immersive experience for early-career filmmakers, with an emphasis on creating opportunities for people from underrepresented communities. This year’s cohort will join a three-day intensive workshop during the New York Film Festival, getting an opportunity to gain invaluable insight from experienced filmmakers, industry leaders, and Academy alumni. Panels, case studies, roundtable discussions, and networking opportunities will focus on the participants’ career development, the collaborative process of filmmaking, and strategies for making a sustainable living in their field.
The participants for this year’s FLC Artists Academy are Nada Bedair, Zoë Hodge, Bianca Jones, Jard Lerebours, Mackie Mallison, Oliver McGoldrick, Philip Thompson, Bren Wyona, Tang Yi, and Kevin Yu.
The FLC Critics Academy is produced by Film Comment magazine and led by its editors Devika Girish and Clinton Krute. The program offers invaluable experience in both the craft and business of film criticism. Participants will join a two-day intensive workshop prior to the New York Film Festival where established members of the industry—including working critics, editors, programmers, distributors, and publicists—will cover topics including pitching and freelancing, the editorial process, covering festivals, interviewing, social media for critics, and more.
