Donate to the Patricia Zimmermann Memorial Fellowships Fund
Patty Zimmermann leads a discussion at the 1994 Flaherty Film Seminar, 30 years ago.
The Flaherty is thrilled to partner with Visible Evidence are 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.
The Patricia Zimmermann Fellowship Fund will award fellowships to emerging curators, scholars, artists, and historians of alternative and new media to attend future Flaherty Seminars or Visible Evidence Conferences 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 2025 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.
