The Division of Public Programs offers the Bridging Cultures through Film: International Topics grant. This grant is for documentary film projects that delve into international and transnational themes within the humanities. Its purpose is to foster American engagement with global cultures and countries beyond the United States. Proposed films must be analytical, deeply rooted in humanities scholarship, and encourage innovative, multi-perspective storytelling. Projects can explore critical issues in ethics, religion, or history from an international perspective, profile foreign figures, or examine the history and cultures of specific non-U.S. regions or communities. Films should range from broadcast-hour to feature-length documentaries.
