The UnionDocs Collaborative - Last Call for Applicants for resident and non-resident spots beginning September 2010


A program for non-fiction media research and group production

It is both a rigorous platform for exploring contemporary approaches to the documentary arts and a process for developing an innovative group project. The program focuses on providing what we believe are the most effective educational resources for individuals at the beginning of their careers:

Mentorship toward the production of an original work.

Dynamic interaction among a network of talented peers.

Direct contact and structured exchange with visiting artists.

Exposure to a wide variety of practices and models.

Regular group critique sessions.

Exposure through a toured exhibition and/or publication of annual project.

DEADLINE TO APPLY: AUGUST 1

South Carolina Film Commission Accepting Applications for Production Fund Grants

The South Carolina Film Commission is accepting applications from independent film makers for grants to support short-film projects.

The Production Fund, which will be offered in collaboration with the University of South Carolina and Trident Technical College, will provide grant funds for one major short-film project valued at $100,000, and up to six mini-grants for smaller short films funded on an as-needed basis (from $2,000 to $10,000 for each project).

The Production Fund was created to develop collaborative projects between the film industry and institutions of higher learning. The projects help independent producers and other professionals in the motion picture industry work to build a talent pool of students and people already in the field who want to sharpen their skills. Projects that receive the mini-grants will be managed through Trident Tech for the 2010-2011 academic year and will be part of the curriculum of the Division of Film, Media, and Visual Arts. The single, major short-film project that is awarded the $100,000 grant will be managed through USC for the 2011-2012 school year and will be part of the curriculum of the USC Media Arts Area of the Art Department, collaborating with USC's Theater Department.

In addition to offering production grants, the Film Commission will host a series of seminars from August 2010 to July 2011 for media professionals and students studying film in South Carolina. Sessions will cover lighting, directing, location management, producing, and safety workshops.

For information on the grants or the workshops, visit the SC Film Commission Web site.

San Francisco Film Society Invites Letters of Inquiry for Filmmaking Grants

The San Francisco Film Society, with support from the Kenneth Rainin Foundation, is accepting Letters of Inquiry for the Fall 2010 SFFS/KRF Filmmaking Grants.

The grant program supports independent film projects that use plot, character, theme, or setting to explore human and civil rights, antidiscrimination, gender and sexual identity, and other urgent social justice issues. The program supports films that will have a significant economic or professional impact on the San Francisco Bay Area filmmaking community. The grants program, scheduled to run from 2009 to 2013, awards grants in the spring and fall of each year.

Films at all levels of production are eligible for a total of $225,000 in grant money through the fall 2010 cycle. Grant recipients are required to spend some or all funds in the Bay Area. In addition to the cash grant, recipients will receive various benefits through the Film Society's comprehensive filmmaker services programs.

Independent filmmakers who have a key creative role in the film project — screenwriter, producer, or director — are eligible to apply.

Applicants who are not SFFS members are required to pay a $35 application fee. The fee is waived for SFFS members.

Information is available at the SFFS Web site. Click on title.

Completion Funds

Open Call provides completion funds for single nonfiction public television programs on any subject, and from any viewpoint. Projects must have begun production as evidenced by a work-in-progress video. Open Call funding is only available to independent producers who are citizens or legal residents of the U.S. and its external territories.


Open Call accepts:

•Single programs of standard broadcast length (half-hour or one-hour). In rare cases, when a filmmaker’s skills, subject, and story structure warrant it, ITVS will consider programs at feature lengths.

•Works-in-progress (for nonfiction submissions), i.e. projects that have already begun production

•Programs that can be completed within one year of contract

Open Call does not accept:

Proposals for completed projects seeking distribution

•Series proposals or fictional dramas

•Projects intended solely for theatrical release

There are two funding rounds per year, and the deadlines are typically in mid-January and early August. Applicants may apply with only one project per call. The entire proposal review process takes up to five months. Only one to two percent of Open Call applicants will receive funding.

Open Call is not a grant; ITVS provides a co-production investment in the program.

MISSION & OBJECTIVE

AFI FEST presents a survey of the year's most significant films each fall. Featuring international work from emerging filmmakers, global showcases of films from the great masters and red-carpet gala premieres, AFI FEST brings world cinema to the heart of Hollywood.

Since 2000, the consumer audience at AFI FEST has tripled to over 65,000 attendees. In 2008, over 600 press representatives secured accreditation to the Festival, with combined media impressions in excess of 1.6 billion worldwide.

The American Film Market (AFM) in November 2010 is the market partner of AFI FEST. Since its formation in 2004, this strategic partnership has grown into the largest gathering of film professionals in North America. The association between the two events connects art and commerce, broadening the opportunities for all participants.

AFI FEST is the only film festival in the United States to hold the prestigious FIAPF accreditation (www.FIAPF.org), assuring a high standard of quality and reliability for the international film community. The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences recognizes AFI FEST as a qualifying festival for the Short Films category of the annual Academy Awards.

ABOUT THE FESTIVAL

Last year’s AFI FEST presented by Audi enjoyed record attendance, as audiences turned out in force to attend films and special events. Programming highlights from AFI FEST 2009 presented by Audi included 7 consecutive nights of galas and tributes, including FANTASTIC MR FOX, PRECIOUS, THE MESSENGER, A SINGLE MAN, THE ROAD and a 50th Anniversary digitally re-mastered presentation of Alfred Hitchcock’s NORTH BY NORTHWEST; tributes to Viggo Mortensen and Christopher Plummer, the latter featuring a screening of THE LAST STATION; red carpet appearances by Wes Anderson, Drew Barrymore, Angela Bassett, Kate Beckinsale, Nicolas Cage, Lee Daniels, Julie Delpy, Robert De Niro, Colin Firth, Tom Ford, Terry Gilliam, Woody Harrelson, Werner Herzog, Martin Landau, Julianne Moore, Mo’Nique, Bill Murray, Tyler Perry, Eva Marie Saint, Jason Schwartzman, Charlize Theron and Oprah Winfrey; and access to the AFI Digital Content Lab’s 2-day DigiFest conference.

ORGANIZERS

Derek Call (Festival Producer) ; John Roberts ; Lane Kneedler (Associate Director of Programming) ; Sandy Gow (Database Designer)

To see our listing of past films and our upcoming scheduled event dates, click here at MeetUp.

Each screening consists of an independent feature film and 30-minute round-table discussion with the filmmaker. International filmmakers field questions after the screening - whether in-person or via phone or Skype video conferencing.

If you would like your film to be considered for the upcoming season, please send the following information to filmfestival@nomadsland.com.

- The name of the film and a short synopsis
- Your association with the film (producer, distributor, director, etc.)
- A list of festivals the film has been featured in (you must have at least one)
- Links to the film's webpage, critical reviews, online video trailers or full-length streaming-

Your preferred date of screening from our Calendars on Facebook or Meetup.

We prefer newer films (made in the last two years) but will consider all entries. Our deadline is December 10, 2009. We program on a first-com first-serve basis.

We also encourage you to check out our new website and join our growing community site.

All the best,
The Events Team at NomadsLand

All main categories are eligible for this award.

IDA MUSIC DOCUMENTARY AWARD is given to a filmmaker for an outstanding documentary communicating the cultural importance of music and its power to enrich the human spirit.
