Three A-List Actresses to Serve as Jurors for Tribeca-Chanel Program
Halle Berry, Regina King, and Meg Ryan will join the jury for the 11th edition of Through Her Lens, a program supporting emerging women and non-binary filmmakers. Cinematographer Autumn Durald Arkapaw and actress Ella Rubin will also serve on the jury. The initiative is a collaboration between Tribeca Enterprises and Chanel.
The 11th edition of Through Her Lens brings together a jury of established performers and craftspeople to evaluate work from emerging women and non-binary filmmakers. Berry, King, and Ryan join cinematographer Autumn Durald Arkapaw, whose recent credits include "Sinners," and "Sterling Point" actress Ella Rubin on this year's panel. The program is an annual artist-development initiative run jointly by Tribeca Enterprises and Chanel.
The jury announcement arrives as the program enters its second decade of operation, having previously supported filmmakers at early career stages through the collaborative efforts of the two organizations.
This announcement could reinforce momentum behind efforts to diversify filmmaking voices, as the involvement of high-profile actors like Berry, King, and Ryan may draw greater industry attention to emerging women and non-binary directors. The program's longevity suggests sustained institutional backing that could influence how similar initiatives are structured elsewhere, potentially expanding access to funding, mentorship, and visibility for filmmakers who might otherwise struggle to gain traction in a competitive field.
