Institute History
Description
Town Of Runners follows young Ethiopian athletes as they move from school track to national competition and from childhood to adulthood. The Audience Engagement award will support the filmmakers and partners including Running Across Borders, Tesfa Foundation and the Bekoji Youth and Sports Office. Together they will expand the work of the coach by developing three assistant coach positions; developing a ?Visit and Train? program for foreign athletes which might bring income and employment to the town; developing new opportunities for Bekoji's athletes as guides and coaches for foreign athletes; and creating a library resource centre in the town as a focus for this work.

As you use our Online Archives, please understand that the information presented from Festivals, Labs, and other activities is taken directly from official publications from each year. While this information is limited and doesn't necessarily represent the full list of participants (e.g. actors and crew), it is the list given to us by the main film/play/project contact at the time, based on the space restrictions of our publications. Each entry in the Online Archives is meant as a historical record of a particular film, play, or project at the time of its involvement with Sundance Institute. For this reason, we can only amend an entry if a name is misspelled, or if the entry does not correctly reflect the original publication.
