Description
The Film Study Center Harvard Fellowship (FSC-Harvard) supports advanced creative and scholarly projects in film, video, photography, and sound. The fellowship is designed to foster innovative and experimental approaches to audiovisual media, with a particular focus on nonfiction forms. Awardees receive access to production and post-production equipment, technical support, and are included in a vibrant community of filmmakers through workshops, screenings, and critiques. The program encourages work in 16mm film and provides resources for both regular and super 16 formats. Participation in the Nonfiction Workshop—where fellows present works-in-progress for feedback—is a central component of the fellowship.
