Sundance Institute Documentary Fund grants open

Deadline: 7/10/12

Journalists and filmmakers can apply for a grant.

The Documentary Fund provides grants to filmmakers worldwide for projects that display innovative storytelling techniques, global relevance, contemporary social issues and potential for social engagement.

Sundance Institute Documentary Fund grants are announced twice a year. Since its inception, the Fund has supported more than 500 films in 61 countries.

Applications are open for two categories of projects: -Development funding is provided to projects that are between development and preproduction. Grant amounts for this category are up to $20,000. There is no reel required with an application, but clips, teasers, trailers, or images are highly encouraged. A previous work sample is required.

-Production/Post-production grants provide funds up to $50,000 to filmmakers in various stages of the production and post-production process. Applications are required to include continuously edited material that is approximately 20 to 75 minutes for the project being proposed. The reel should convey the narrative and aesthetic visual for the final film. If available for consideration, longer cuts and fine cuts may be submitted. A previous sample work must also be included with the application.

The fall deadline is July 10.
