Funding for documentary projects available

Documentarians can apply for US$15,000 to US$25,000 to complete their projects.

The Pare Lorentz Documentary Fund will provide production grants totaling US$195,000 to be used in the creation of original, independent documentary films that illuminate pressing issues in the United States. The program is administered by the International Documentary Association.

Grants will be made to up to 12 projects that tell a compelling story and focus on one of Pare Lorentz’s central concerns including the appropriate use of the natural environment, justice for all or the illumination of pressing social problems.

Applicants do not need to be U.S. citizens or residents.

The deadline is April 27.
