2010 Berkeley FILM Foundation award winners

The Berkeley FILM Foundation was delighted to have received 38 grant applications. The Grant Review Committee then evaluated each application and presented the Board of Directors with their Grant Award recommendations.  Separate and Unequal, a film by Judith Montell and Emmy Scharatt, has been awarded the first annual Saul Zaentz Award and a $20,000 grant.  Other 2010 grant award-winners may be found at http://visitberkeley.com/film-office/berkeley-film-foundation.

The Zaentz Media Center (ZMC) continues the monthly Berkeley Filmmakers Screening Series established to showcase the award-winning independent cinema of the filmmakers at the ZMC.  Films will be screened at 7pm on the third Thursday of each month.  Several recipients of the 2009 Berkeley FILM Foundation grants will screen their films with the ticket price going directly to benefit the BFF.  Reservations for seating may be made and more information found at www.berkeleyfilmscreening.com.
