Cinema of Resistance
The Doc Society Fund is dedicated to cinematic non-fiction storytelling that uncovers the architecture of power: the systems, structures, and ideologies driving our global present in a time of rising authoritarianism and political entropy, stories that help us imagine the better futures we all deserve.
What kind of stories will we be looking for?
- Stories that invite us to be brave, that show us we are not alone.
- Stories that remind us we deserve the futures we dream of.
- Stories that challenge dominant narratives and hold space for complexity.
- Stories that protect the dignity of participants and communities in how they’re made, how they’re framed, how they’re shared.
- In a time when truth is under siege, we back the filmmakers who will speak it, beautifully and without compromise.
- We are prioritising long form documentary film, from early production onwards, and are looking forward to working with makers from all over the world.
What is the process?
Our team is busy scouring markets and festivals, talking to makers and comrades in cultural organisations, broadcasters and funds around the world.
You can also get your project on our radar by using this simple Expression Expression of Interest (EOI).
We are granting on a quarterly basis. We will get back to all projects submitting through the EOI within three months.
You are welcome to submit more than one project, but please use a second form.
Thank you for your interest, your brilliance and your resilience.
Yours, team Doc Society
