Fusion Film Festival 2021 Awards Ceremony

On Saturday April 3rd at 8pm NYU Tisch School of the Arts' Fusion Film Festival will offer our 2021 Awards Ceremony. This event is pre-recorded and will be available to watch via YouTube.

The Fusion Film Festival is New York University’s premiere festival dedicated to celebrating women in film, television, and new media from student to icon. Founded in 2003 at Tisch School of the Arts by two students Emma Heald and Gina Abatemarco, Fusion has been passionately guided by Kanbar Professor Susan Sandler.

Fusion offers programming throughout the school year, culminating in a three day spring festival of screenings, industry panels, master classes, retrospectives, networking events, and competitions in fourteen categories all focused on women’s voices and work behind the camera. Fusion is proud to be an Allied Partner of the Sundance Institute’s Women’s Initiative. In the eighteen years since its launch, Fusion has attracted scores of accomplished artists and visionaries from across the industry including Lulu Wang, Eliza Hittman, Nia DaCosta, Melina Matsoukas, Reed Morano, Christine Vachon, Misha Green, Amy Sherman-Palladino, Kasi Lemmons, Lena Dunham, Janet Tamaro, Maria Zuckerman, Kelly Edwards, Amy Emmerich, Lauren Zalaznick to mentor and inspire the next generation of great storytellers.
