Weyermann, the former chief content officer at Participant and former director of the Sundance Institute’s documentary film program,. She was 66. In addition to an apartment in New York City, Weyermann owned a home in coastal Maine.
“We are incredibly honored and grateful for the opportunity to recognize Diane’s tremendous impact on the world of documentary filmmaking through this new Fellowship,” said Ben Fowlie, executive director of Points North and founder-artistic director of CIFF. “Diane has been a beacon for so many throughout her career, and her fervent belief in documentary as a catalyst for social change has been our guiding inspiration.
In partnership with the Skoll Foundation and Participant, Points North established the Diane Weyermann Memorial Fund to help seed the fellowship program. Over the past year, Points North has been working closely with an advisory committee to design the initiative. Advisors include Ally Derks, founder of Intl.
This fellowship expands upon Points North’s commitment to supporting the next generation of nonfiction storytellers. Established in 2016 and building on the success of the Camden Intl. Film Festival , the Institute manages five different fellowship programs that support nearly fifty filmmakers and 25 projects annually.
