The Tribeca Film Institute has selected Canadian filmmaker Sami Khan’s Khoya as one of six narrative features in its All Access program.

And as part of TAA’s partnership with the Canadian Film Centre, Combarde, written and directed by Boris Rodriguez (Eddie – The Sleepwalking Cannibal) and produced by Anne-Marie Gelinas and Concepcion Taboada, was also selected for this year’s program.

The All Access filmmakers will receive an initial $15,000 grant, in addition to year-round support and resources to facilitate completing their projects.

Khoya focuses on a young Canadian man who travels to rural India to find his birth family, after the death of his adoptive mother.

Written and directed by Khan, the film is produced by Karen Shaw.

Rodriguez’s Combarde is about a union organizer in Mexico who loses his job and joins a band of corrupt detectives planning to kidnap the company’s owner.

Tribeca All Access supports filmmakers from statistically underrepresented communities in the film industry, with grants, year-round resources and industry networking opportunities.

The selected filmmakers participate in an intensive four-day program alongside the Tribeca Film Festival. That includes one-on-one meetings, filmmaker networking events and workshops.

The selected films are also eligible for the TAA Creative Promise Awards, cash prizes of $10,000 for a narrative film and $10,000 for a documentary.

Last year’s Tribeca All Access Creative Promise Award winner for narrative was another Canadian film, Rhymes for Young Ghouls, written and directed by Jeff Barnaby, produced by John Christou and Aisling Chin-Yee of Prospector Films, and financed under the CFC Features program.
