for emerging filmmakers for undiscovered talent for storytellers and writers for budding directors & producers
In our strive to discover unseen and underrepresented cinematic brilliance, we collaborate with selected entities to support and empower tomorrow’s directors, producers and writers, through awareness and partnership, fueling dreams, and igniting a motivation for a more inclusive film industry future.
The International Emerging Film Talent Foundation offers support, through grants, to the International Emerging Film Talent Association who, in turn, collaborates directly with external institutions, film industry bodies, festivals, and events with the goal of aiding emerging filmmakers who face challenges in entering the industry due to demographic, situational, or resource limitations.
TALENT
Through our partnership with IEFTA we seek to provide support for unheard and unseen talent, providing opportunity for outstanding emerging creativity, and for them to have the recognition they deserve.
CINEMA
Through IEFTA’s procurement process we aim to nurture diverse voices and in turn, contribute to the enrichment of the film industry through inclusion of underrepresented perspectives.
DIVERSITY
Our mission is to uphold and support diversity, equity and inclusion within the film industry, through grant based financial support utilising film festivals, events and recognised film industry entities.
The Intl. Emerging Film Talent Foundation (IEFTF), a new Athens-based venture established to provide support for unheard and unseen talent, launches May 18 at the Cannes Film Festival.
