Artemis Rising Foundation Filmmaker Fellows (ARFFF) Program at Barnard College 2025-2026: (Deadline 15 November, 2024)

Applications are open for the Artemis Rising Foundation Filmmaker Fellows (ARFFF) Program at Barnard College 2025-2026. Each year, Barnard welcomes up to six established film/video makers as Artemis Rising Foundation Filmmaker Fellows. During their fellowship time, fellows teach courses of their own design on Barnard’s campus. These courses, which can be either mini-courses or semester-long, could explore aspects of  film/media production including content development, writing for screens, camerawork, directing, and editing. 

ARFF Fellows will be enlisted for varying time periods – from about a week to a few months – and may come with expertise in diverse areas of filmmaking including content development, screenwriting, cinematography, directing, and more.

In the 2025-2026 academic year, they are soliciting applications from makers interested in teaching a course in one of the following areas: writing for television, animation, sound design, directing, production (lighting theory and practice) and post-production (video editing, color correction), as well as the future of the field. Mini-courses are either 2 or 4 weeks (usually in September/October in the fall, or January/February in the spring). Semester-long courses are also offered in both the fall and spring.

Benefits

• Fellows must be available to be in-person on campus in New York City during the term of their appointment. Fellows receive a competitive salary as well as a travel and accommodation stipend, and have access to an office space at Barnard during the term of their appointment. 

Eligibility

• Barnard seeks a diverse pool of applicants and it especially welcomes those from underrepresented backgrounds.
• At this time, international applicants are only being considered for mini-course appointments; Fellows selected for semester-long appointments must have US work authorization.
