Announcing the 2024 Sundance Institute Documentary Fund Grant Recipients
EXCLUSIVE: The Jewish Film Institute has announced six projects that will receive a total of $80,000 in JFI Completion Grants, including the latest film from Oscar-nominated director and two-time Sundance Grand Jury Prize winner Ondi Timoner.
Timoner's All God's Children tells the story of a rabbi and a Protestant minister in New York who unite their congregations to "combater rising tensions in their Brooklyn communities." The rabbi, Rachel Timoner, is the sister of Ondi Timoner.
The nonprofit JFI, which “supports bold films and filmmakers who expand and develop the Jewish story for audiences everywhere,” has awarded more than $400,000 in grants to filmmakers since 2020. In addition to Timoner’s project, the newly announced recipients include Amber Fares’ Coexistence, My Ass!, a documentary that follows Israeli comedian Noam Shuster Eliassi “as she struggles to create a one-woman comedy show called Coexistence, My Ass! about racism, sexism, war, peace, and… her ass.” See the full list of 2024 grantees below.
