Sundance Fund to Support International Documentary Projects
PND RFP Bulletin -- Sundance Fund to Support International Documentary Projects
A program of the Sundance Institute, the
Sundance Documentary Fund is dedicated to supporting U.S. and international
documentary films and videos focused on current and significant issues and
movements in contemporary human rights, freedom of expression, social
justice, and civil liberties.
The fund only accepts projects dealing with contemporary issues, and does
not accept historical projects, biographies, or series. Individuals from
around the world may apply with documentary film or video projects that
range in length from full broadcast hour to long format feature. Applicants
must have creative and budgetary control over the proposed documentary. The
Sundance Documentary Fund is extremely competitive and only a fraction of
submitted proposals will be funded. Quality of work samples, strength of
proposal, potential for broad international distribution, and the issue's
significance are elements heavily weighed during the review process.
Two distinct project categories will be considered for funding:
Development Funds are available for projects in the research or
preproduction phase. Grants in this category range up to $15,000. Grantees
receiving development funds may reapply for additional support upon
completion of at least a rough cut of their documentary.
Work in Progress Funds are available for projects in production or
postproduction. These submissions are eligible for the maximum grant award
of $75,000, but generally, awards in this category will range from $20,000
to $50,000.
For complete program information, see the Sundance Institute Web site.
