Open Call for Artemis Rising Foundation Filmmaker Fellows :: Academic Year 2025-26
Open Call for Film/Video Production Fellowship Applications, Academic Year 2025-2026
The Artemis Rising Foundation Filmmaker Fellows (ARFFF) Program at Barnard College is now accepting fellowship applications for the 2025-2026 academic year.
Each year, Barnard welcomes up to six established film/video makers as Artemis Rising Foundation Filmmaker Fellows. During their fellowship time, fellows teach courses of their own design on Barnard’s campus. These courses, which can be either mini-courses or semester-long, could explore aspects of film/media production including content development, writing for screens, camerawork, directing, and editing.
In the 2025-2026 academic year, we are soliciting applications from makers interested in teaching a course in one of the following areas: writing for television, animation, sound design, directing, production (lighting theory and practice) and post-production (video editing, color correction), as well as the future of the field.
Mini-courses are either 2 or 4 weeks (usually in September/October in the fall, or January/February in the spring). Semester-long courses are also offered in both the fall and spring.
Barnard seeks a diverse pool of applicants and it especially welcomes those from underrepresented backgrounds. At this time, international applicants are only being considered for mini-course appointments; Fellows selected for semester-long appointments must have US work authorization.
Fellows must be available to be in-person on campus in New York City during the term of their appointment. Fellows receive a competitive salary as well as a travel and accommodation stipend, and have access to an office space at Barnard during the term of their appointment.
Examples of prior Fellows are listed on the ARFFF website here.
The call for applications is open now. The application deadline is November 15, 2024. Please submit applications here.
This program is sponsored by the Artemis Rising Foundation and its Founder and CEO Regina K. Scully.
