Helping documentary producers and authors at key moment of development and production of their films,
THAT’S WHAT DOCS UP FUND DO.
What kind of Films Docs Up is looking for?
An open approach that favours artistic expression, insight and originality
A quest for authentic “points of view”
A support mechanism staunchly oriented towards international creativity
The purpose of DOCS UP FUND is to defend and support the creation of politically engaged documentaries that deal with issues related to human rights. Films can be about economic, geopolitical, cultural, ethical and/or societal issues.
We have a truly international scope, looking for documentaries that take place in Asia, Africa, Latin America, The Middle East and Eastern Europe, as well as in Western Europe and North America.
The purpose of the fund is to raise public awareness about what is happening in the world with regards to human rights issues: wars and conflict zones, economic crises, migration flows, political and climate changes, social phenomena, poverty, health, democracy, social justice, environment, personal and collective stories, etc…
