MEETING DATE: Tuesday December 4, 6:00pm
LOCATION: Building C, Fort Mason Center for Arts & Culture
RSVP to info@sfiaf.org
Find out about presenting your work at the San Francisco International Arts Festival in May 2020 as part of the SFIAF organization's ongoing program to feature performing artists who are recent graduates (one to five years) from the arts programs of Northern California's Institutions of Higher Learning.
The goal of the program is to offer low-risk opportunities for younger people who are at a stage of their careers where they have decided to become generative artists. Specifically those who are in the process of creating an external or formal structure to sustain and manage their careers (i.e. an ensemble, band, 501(c)(3), sole proprietorship or another form of support mechanism) that will enable them to build a place for themselves in the performing arts business.
*NOTE: Current junior standing students are encouraged to attend the meeting on Dec. 4th, since this event will be for those who will be post graduate students on May 2020.

UC Healthy and Equitable World Student Film Competition
Submissions close: April 8, 2019 11:59pm
University of California students are invited to submit short films, 3 minutes or less in duration, that tell their stories about how low or changing access to food or water has, is or will affect their lives, and explore the exciting world of filmmaking.
Some aspects of food and water access are universal, others vary by individual and campus. Students might explore issues involving only food or water access or consider both in their short film. For example:
- How contaminated water has affected their families’ or communities’ health, and/or social and economic situations.
- How dwindling natural resources (e.g. droughts) or mismanagement of resources (e.g. overfishing) has changed or will change their families’ livelihoods.
- What lack of access to affordable healthy food has done to theirs, their families’ or communities’ health and lifestyles.
All forms of documentary and non-fiction filmmaking are welcome. Your film can be animated or live action. Your film can be a selfie video, an interview with a relative, a series of still images with a voice over, an animated post-apocalyptic prediction of the future or any other film format that voices your story. Your film must be 3 minutes or less in duration. Entry is free. Top finalist films will be screened at the festival and on UCTV Sustainable California. Winners will be announced at the festival.

Caucus Foundation Application for Thesis Film Grants
DUE January 15, 2019
Purpose of the Grants: To assist worthy students in completing their student thesis film, TV program, video or interactive projects. The award will provide completion money after other means of fundraising have been exhausted. This program is intended to combat the lack of diversity in content and creative people in our industry.
Rationale for the Grants: The Caucus recognizes its responsibility to take action to promote diversity behind the camera in our industry. We look to the accredited film, television, media programs at our universities and colleges as the source of the talented writers, directors and producers of the future. While scholarships are becoming more and more plentiful, support for students in completing their portfolio project is scarce. These projects serve as a calling card for entry in the industry. Further, the selection and identification process will, of itself, validate and recognize young talent and provide a source of mentors as they make the transition from student to industry professional.
Eligibility: Applicants must be registered in an accredited undergraduate or graduate degree program that requires the student to complete a thesis project in film, television program, video or interactive project for their degree and must be either the producer or director of the film. Applicant must also be a US Citizen. The student must be enrolled at an accredited University, College or Conservatory at time of submission or has graduated within three months of the due date of application.
Submissions: May be a structured film as currently understood, or TV Program of any genre i.e. game show, reality program, situation comedy, variety program, documentary or any commonly produced form in contemporary broadcasting including webisodes.
