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.
