Sundance Film Institute 2007: Documentary Funds

November 21, 2007–The Sundance Institute Documentary Film Program announced 30 film projects to receive a record number of financial grants from the Sundance Institute Documentary Fund. Out of 300 applications from more than 25 countries, the feature-length documentary films selected will receive a total of nearly $750,000 in support. The Sundance Documentary Film Program supports U.S. and international documentary filmmakers who explore the critical issues of our times with highly crafted storytelling and stylistic innovation.

“The Sundance Documentary Film Program is honored to support talented artists from around the world with funding at critical moments in their filmmaking to ensure the creation and completion of these important films, said Cara Mertes, Director of the Sundance Institute Documentary Film Program. This is an exceptional docket of documentary films with major work from established and emerging filmmakers. The films funded today reflect the Documentary Film Programs interest in helping filmmakers tell the stories of our changing world, including films with the potential to transform it.”

The Sundance Institute Documentary Fund is a central element of Sundance Institutes Documentary Film Program, which provides year-round creative support to nonfiction filmmakers through workshops, screenings, and activities related to the distinct stages of the filmmaking process. Grants are announced twice a year and submissions are accepted on a rolling basis and judged on their approach to storytelling, artistic treatment and innovation, subject relevance and potential for social engagement.

The Sundance Institute Documentary Program considers new projects in the Development and Production/Post-Production phases. The film selection is juried by creative film professionals and human rights experts.
