For the first time, the Swiss luxury watch manufacturer presented the IWC Filmmaker Award to three nominees: Chloé Zhao, Anahita Ghazvinizadeh and Abu Bakr Shawky. Their works left an impression on the jury members, which included Paula Weinstein, EVP of Tribeca Enterprise; Amy Hobby, Executive Director of the Tribeca Film Institute; Matt Ruskin, last year’s award winner; and Christoph Grainger-Herr. Other than the awards, the exclusive event also saw the performance of the Tony- and Grammy Award-winning Cynthia Erivo.

As a watchmaker, IWC Schaffhausen understands the high degree of dedication and craftsmanship that goes into crafting something that one can connect with, hence its dedication to support both up-and-coming and established filmmakers through the awards.
