Patty Zimmermann leads a discussion at the 1994 Flaherty Film Seminar, 30 years ago.
Donate to the Patricia Zimmermann Memorial Fellowships Fund
We are thrilled to announce that The Flaherty and Visible Evidence are partnering to co-create a new Fellowship Fund in honor of the late and great Patty Zimmermann (1956-2023).
Together, our two organizations are fundraising for a Patricia Zimmermann Professional Development Fellowship, with the proceeds to be divided equally between The Flaherty Seminar and the Visible Evidence Conference.
As a connector and builder, Patty was an indomitable force in both our communities. She inspired and nurtured the intellectual and generative processes of so many scholars and artists while remaining herself curious and open to reinvention. Her legacy as an author, presenter, and visionary thought leader in the film world cannot be underestimated.
Our funding goal of $20,000 will award fellowships to emerging curators, scholars, artists, and historians of alternative and new media to attend either the Flaherty Seminar or Visible Evidence XXX and engage in other affiliated mentoring activities.
We hope to carry these Fellowships forward into the future as a tribute to Patty’s work in the film world as a scholar, archivist, community builder, creator, historian, and adventurous explorer and chronicler of new media.
Please join us now in making any donation – large or small – to make the 2024 Patricia Zimmermann Fellowship Fund a reality!

The Flaherty's Fellowship Program was a sensorial experience – I was overwhelmed with constructive emotions and encouraged to articulate them among generous peers.

The Flaherty Film Seminar is the most intellectually, politically, and aesthetically stimulating week of film culture today.
