The Division of Public Programs is offering the “Bridging Cultures through Film: International Topics” grant to fund documentary film projects. This grant is specifically designed to support productions examining international and transnational themes within the humanities. Its core purpose is to spark American engagement with the broader world by exploring countries and cultures outside the United States. Proposed documentaries must be analytical, deeply grounded in humanities scholarship, and range from a broadcast-hour to a feature-length film. The program encourages innovative nonfiction storytelling presenting multiple points of view. Eligible topics include critical issues in ethics, religion, history viewed internationally, cross-border explorations, biographies of foreign figures, or detailed examinations of non-U.S. regions, countries, or communities.
