Northern Westchester Hospital and Phelps Hospital Sponsor Programs at the Jacob Burns Film Center
Pleasantville, NY – May 30, 2018 – Mount Kisco’s Northern Westchester Hospital and Sleepy Hollow’s Phelps Hospital, proud members of Northwell Health, have become sponsors of the Jacob Burns Film Center’s (JBFC) Creative Culture program and a new ongoing series, Inquiry: Science on Film.
Creative Culture is a fellowship and residency program that fosters a diverse community for filmmakers in the region, across the country, and around the world. Donor-funded fellowships and residencies help to ensure that people from every economic background have access to this meaningful experience. Thanks to this new sponsorship, the JBFC is offering a Northwell Health and Wellness Fellowship this fall. The fellowship is open to applicants proposing a short film dealing with issues surrounding health and wellness.
The second component of the sponsorship is Inquiry: Science on Film, a new series of current, classic, and documentary films with lively conversations by notable figures from the world of science, medicine, mathematics, and technology. The series, which will feature special film programs throughout the year, launches on Wednesday, Oct. 10 at 7:00 with a screening of Science Fair followed by a Q&A with science teacher/film subject Dr. Serena McCalla. See you at the movies!
