The IDFA Bertha Fund is the only fund in the world dedicated solely to stimulating and empowering the creative documentary sector in Africa, Asia, Eastern Europe, Latin America and the Caribbean, and Oceania.

Roy W Dean Film Grants fund independent feature films, documentaries, web series, and short films with budgets of $500,000 or less that are unique and make a contribution to society.

Hot Docs and the Rogers Foundation founded the $1-million Hot Docs Ted Rogers Fund to support Canadian documentary projects.

Diversity Development Fund gives producers of color up to $25,000 in research and development funding so you can develop your documentary for public media.

This is a selective fund, and is granted as a subsidy either before or after completion of a project. It is granted to foreign feature-length film projects that are seeking support from French co-producers.

Scriptaplooza Screenwriting Competition has become one of few most relevant screenwriting competitions in the industry, and has maintained its early days goal of helping as many writers as possible every year.

BlueCat accepts both feature length and short screenplays, and in keeping with our longstanding tradition, every screenplay will receive one written analysis, with our best screenplays receiving over $40,000 in cash prizes.

We accept all documentaries, essays and experimental films that reflect a diversity of genres and different forms of cinematic approaches. 

The fund supports film productions from Asia, Africa, Latin America and Eastern Europe, aims at making them visible worldwide and guarantees their distribution in Switzerland. 

We seek non-fiction stories celebrating adventure, activism, social justice, culture, environment and indomitable spirit.
