These projects are meant to spark Americans engagement with the broader world by exploring one or more countries and cultures outside of the United States. Proposed documentaries must be analytical and deeply grounded in humanities scholarship. The Division of Public Programs encourages the exploration of innovative nonfiction storytelling that presents multiple points of view in creative formats.
The proposed film must should range in length from a standard broadcast length of thirty minutes to a feature-length documentary.
We invite a wide range of approaches to international and transnational topics and themes, such as an examination of a critical issue in ethics, religion, or history, viewed through an international lens; an exploration of a topic that transcends a single nation-state, with the topic being explored across borders; a biography of a foreign leader, writer, artist, or historical figure; or an exploration of the history and culture(s) of a specific region, country, or community outside of the United States.
Bridging Cultures through Film: International Topics offers two levels of support for documentary films: development and production. Filmmakers can apply for either development or production funding but not for both simultaneously.
Bridging Cultures through Film supports only documentary films and not ancillary materials, digital projects, or websites Development funds support filmmakers for a wide range of activities that include but are not limited to collaboration with scholars to develop humanities content, research, preliminary interviews, travel, and the creation of partnerships for outreach activities (public engagement with the humanities).
Applicants must have obtained the commitment of humanities scholars to serve as advisers to the project prior to applying for a development grant. Projects receiving development funds should culminate in a script and must identify the producer, director, and writer for the production phase. Funds may also be applied to the production of a trailer.
Production funds support filmmakers in various stages of production and post-production. Applicants must submit a script for a production grant. This script should demonstrate a solid command of the humanities ideas and scholarship related to the subject matter.
Applicants must have consulted with appropriate humanities scholars about the project and must have obtained their commitment to advise the project. Link to Additional Information:http://www. neh.
