Documentary Film Grants

The Sundance Institute Documentary Film Program provides year-round support to nonfiction contemporary-issue filmmakers internationally. The program encourages the exploration of innovative nonfiction storytelling, and promotes the exhibition of documentary films to a broader audience. It supports independent artists both domestically and internationally through the Sundance Documentary Fund, the Documentary Composers Laboratory and Edit and Story Laboratory, panels at the Filmmakers Lodge at the Sundance Film Festival and the Sundance Independent Producers Conference , and a variety of collaborative international documentary initiatives.

The fund considers proposals in two categories:

Development grants of up to $20,000 each to filmmakers whose projects are in the early research or pre-production stage. A previous directing sample is generally required.

Production and post-production grants ranging from $20,000 to $75,000 to filmmakers in various stages of the production and post-production stages. Applications should generally include at least twenty minutes of continuously edited material.

The next application deadline is February 9, 2010.
