Filmmakers Worldwide Invited to Apply for Sundance Documentary Fund

A program of the Sundance Institute, the Sundance Documentary Fund awards a total of between $1 and $2 million a year in support of U.S. and international contemporary independent documentary film. In funding such work, the fund seeks to encourage the diverse exchange of ideas that is crucial to fostering an open society and public dialogue about contemporary issues.

The documentary fund provides grants to filmmakers worldwide for projects that display artful and innovative storytelling, global relevance, engagement with contemporary social issues, and the potential for social engagement.

The fund accepts submissions twice a year for development grants of up to $20,000, production/post-production grants of up to $50,000, and audience engagement grants of up to $20,000. Audience engagement grants are only available to current Sundance grantees for the support of strategic audience and community engagement campaigns.

The fund provides grants to about forty-five to fifty-five projects a year.

Visit the Sundance Web site for complete program information, application materials, an FAQ, and information on previous grant recipients.
