IFP Minnesota and The McKnight Foundation award two $25,000 fellowships to mid-career Minnesota filmmakers each year. The Fellows are selected by a panel of jurors who are film artists and professionals from outside Minnesota. Jurors look for consistent artistic excellence and merit, clarity and uniqueness of vision, professional quality in the technical aspects of production, and for demonstrable, sustained growth in the artist's career. Additionally, jurors consider the artist's ability to present his/her application for the fellowship in an articulate and professional manner.

Deadline for submission:
McKnight Fellowships for Filmmakers 4:00 PM on Monday, March 1, 2010
Winners will be announced in June, 2010.

"How to Apply" Info Sessions
Free "How to Apply" workshops will be offered in November and December 2009 to answer your questions about the application process and the fellowship program. Both screenwriters and filmmakers are welcome to attend either session.
