Lucy Liu, Da’Vine Joy Randolph, Olivia Wilde, Beanie Feldstein and Joanna Calo Award 2024 Recipient of Tribeca Chanel Women’s Filmmaker Program

Lucy Liu, Da’Vine Joy Randolph, Olivia Wilde, Beanie Feldstein and Joanna Calo gathered at a cocktail party in New York City on Thursday evening to name the recipient of the 2024 Through Her Lens: The Tribeca Chanel Women’s Filmmaker Program.

The five women served as jury members for this year’s annual program, which provides industrial support and artistic development to self-identifying women and non-binary filmmakers. After an intensive three-day workshop, Liu, Randolph, Wilde, Feldstein and Calo awarded writer-director Sophia Youssef and producer Céline Bava-Helms the top prize for their short film “Black Shore.”

“We thought ‘Black Shore’ was very ambitious and world-building,” Liu told Variety at the cocktail event on the top terrace of the Greenwich Hotel’s Tribeca penthouse. “And it was different from the other projects because it was so large.”

Liu recalled the jury’s deliberation process after hearing pitches from the emerging filmmakers.
