Accessing Philanthropic Funds Locally and Globally

Business Join this impressive lineup of industry leaders representing Documentary Australia (AUS), Women Make Movies (USA), Doc Society (AUS/UK) and Shark Island Institute (AUS) as they delve into current global trends, funding strategies, audience engagement, international collaboration, and how you can seek philanthropic support for your next project.

What opportunities and trends are we seeing across the global philanthropic landscape? What has evolved and how do we work together to support the documentary sector internationally?

Led by Mitzi Goldman (Documentary Australia), this session includes a stellar panel of industry leaders including Debra Zimmerman (Women Make Movies), Hollie Fifer (Doc Society), and Ian Darling (Shark Island Institute) as they share insights on global philanthropic trends, how to work with different funds, and collaborative strategies to bolster documentary storytelling.

Taking a global lens to philanthropic funding, we examine who is funding what, where they are funding it, and what changes are hoped to be catalysed through these funding efforts.

This session will explore the critical stories that need to be told, the audiences that need to see them, and how we can work together across international lines to rise above the noise and chaos.
