2008 Tribeca Film Fellows: Cityscapes

As young filmmakers from New York City, the 2008 Film Fellows have an amazing canvas to work with, which is the city itself. Before the festival got underway, the Fellows divided into teams, picked up cameras, and spent three weeks filming all five boroughs. Focusing on the theme of industry vs. nature, the Fellows explored and captured the way these two forces contrast, fuse, and define their city. After a couple weeks of editing, Cityscapes was created!

Cityscapes served as the introduction to Our City, My Story (which is the Tribeca Film Institute's annual celebration of NYC youth made media) and set the stage for the amazing 11 short films that were selected for the program. After two massive screenings at TPAC and the AMC 19th Street, the Fellows celebrated with the OCMS filmmakers, friends and family at the Chelsea Art Museum!
