Film Study Center–Radcliffe Fellowships

The Film Study Center invites applications for annual fellowships from outstanding practitioners of film, video, sound art, and new media, which it disburses in conjunction with the Radcliffe Institute.

Applicants must have a significant body of independent work, which displays exceptional accomplishment and formal innovation. Applications for nonfiction and/or culturally inflected projects are particularly encouraged.

Stipends are funded up to $70,000, with additional funds for production or post-production expenses. Support for relocation expenses may also be provided. Fellows receive studio or office space, use of the Film Study Center’s equipment and facilities, and access to libraries and other resources of Harvard University during the fellowship year, which extends from September through June.

Film Study Center–Radcliffe fellows are expected to reside at the Radcliffe Institute or in the Boston area for the duration of the fellowship so that they may participate in the life of the community. They are also asked to make two presentations of their work, one at the Film Study Center, the Harvard Film Archive, or the Carpenter Center for Visual Arts, and another at the Radcliffe Institute.

The annual application deadline for Film Study Center–Radcliffe Fellowships is in the fall, usually October. Applicants are notified of the status of their application the following spring, usually in March.

The application process is administered by the Radcliffe Institute Fellowship Program, to which all inquiries should be directed.
