IDA Announces Call For Applications For Doc Grants Totaling More than Half A Million Dollars


The International Documentary Association has announced an open call for grants totaling more than $500,000 to support nonfiction filmmakers.

The Enterprise Documentary Fund “seeks to support crucial facts-based storytelling while helping filmmakers retain their independent voices and artistic visions,” according to a release. The fund, established in 2017, “prioritizes projects attempting to combat the misinformation being shared on social media and other internet platforms, using journalistic principles (such as fact-checking and rigorous, methodical research) to arrive at a verifiable truth.” Previous Pare Lorentz grantees include Standing Above the Clouds, What These Walls Won’t Hold, Black Mothers, Not Going Quietly, Hummingbirds, After Sherman, and Oscar nominee Crip Camp.
