Congratulations… We are so proud of you Joel

San Francisco, CA - April 4, 2012 - The Global Film Initiative announced today that ten film projects have been selected to receive production funding as part of the Initiative's Winter 2012 granting cycle. "As we enter our tenth year, not only are the caliber of projects increasing with each cycle, we're seeing a more regionally balanced group of submissions than ever before," says Susan Weeks Coulter, Board Chair of the Global Film Initiative. "This is a validating mark of achievement and progress--the playing fields are being leveled, allowing fresh talents to get the recognition and exposure they deserve." The Winter 2012 grant recipients were selected from a diverse group of applicants representing forty-three nations, and include Albanian director Iris Elezi's debut feature, WORLD (Berlinale Talent Campus, Hubert Bals Fund/Script Development); Filipino filmmaker Adolfo Borinaga Alix Jr.'s twentieth feature, WILDLIFE (IFFR CineMart, Hubert Bals Fund/Script Development); and Joel Karekezi's story of retribution and reconciliation following the Rwandan genocide, THE PARDON (Maisha Film Lab, Berlinale Talent Campus, IFFR CineMart/Rotterdam Lab).
