About the Fellowship
The Southern Exposure Film Fellowship seeks the best and brightest emerging documentary filmmakers committed to protecting our natural resources, improving human health and achieving environmental justice through film, journalism and collective action.
The six week summer fellowship, hosted by the Alabama Rivers Alliance, provides a positive and challenging learning experience to exceptional film students and emerging filmmakers seeking to explore and develop their own voices as environmental advocates through nonfiction storytelling. Fellows will gain the skills, equipment, content knowledge and contacts to create authentic, engaging films intended to raise public awareness about important issues facing Alabama’s environment.
Although fellows are not required to have backgrounds that would necessarily lead to careers in filmmaking, applicants with experience in filmmaking or media-related fields will receive priority in the selection process. Applicants must have a demonstrated ability to work collaboratively, as this fellowship is a highly interactive, interpersonal experience.
