News & Announcements
LEF is now accepting letters of inquiry for production and post-production grants! The next LEF Moving Image Fund deadline will be Friday, January 25, 2019 at 11:59pm (midnight) for applicants seeking Production and Post Production funding. Prospective applicants are strongly encouraged to read the LEF New England Moving Image Fund guidelines and frequently asked questions, and to reach out to LEF New England staff by phone or e-mail to determine whether your project is eligible and a good fit for LEF's funding priorities. Start here
Because the LEF Moving Image Fund has adapted its application from the Documentary Core Application, you might already have a head start on your LEF letter of inquiry if you've submitted a grant proposal to another funder that uses the Core. Learn more on the Core Application website
LEF Foundation and the Film Study Center (FSC) at Harvard University are pleased to announce a new fellowship opportunity for Boston-based nonfiction filmmakers called the FSC-LEF Fellowship. One filmmaker over the academic year of September 2019-May 2020 will receive a $10,000 grant (jointly funded by the two entities), access to the FSC's pool of production and post-production equipment, and the opportunity to participate in the Harvard FSC community through work-in-progress screenings, workshops, and other activities. Fellows will be jointly chosen by LEF and the FSC. Applicants to the LEF Moving Image Fund who have submitted a Letter of Inquiry and have been invited to submit a Production or Post-Production Application will be considered for the FSC-LEF Fellowship if they meet the following criteria: (1) they reside within 50 miles of Cambridge, (2) they are not currently affiliated with Harvard, and (3) they will benefit from and contribute to the FSC community. If you have any questions about this fellowship program, please e-mail LEF Program Director Sara Archambault
