GUCCI TRIBECA DOCUMENTARY FUND
Gucci supports documentary film as
an important artistic medium, and as a creative tool that has the
ability to draw attention to relevant issues facing our world today. In
2008 Gucci established its second documentary finishing fund with the
Tribeca Film Institute in New York. The partnership with TFI
demonstrates Gucci’s continued commitment to supporting creative,
independent talents in the film community.
The Gucci Tribeca
Documentary Fund offers finishing funds to engaging feature-length
documentaries which highlight critical issues of social importance from
around the world. The fund focuses on documentaries that are driven by
thoughtful, accurate and complete storytelling.
Since its
inception in 2008, Gucci Tribeca Documentary Fund recipients have been
admitted to over 50 international film festivals, and continue to win
prestigious awards.
