Description
1) Objective
The Ford Foundation supports artist-driven film and new media storytelling projects that explore aspects of inequality, as well as the organizations and networks that support these projects. If your proposal is for film or new media content: Is your project independently produced, and does the final editorial control lie with the filmmaker or project team (i.e., not commissioned work for hire, commercially contracted, or otherwise compromised in terms of editorial independence)? Is your project designed to question or reframe mainstream discourse or stereotypes around your subject? Please describe how your project might transform existing beliefs and values. Is your project designed to aesthetically expand or experiment with film or new media storytelling genres? If so, how?
All projects submitted for JustFilms grants will be judged on the basis of:
- Artistic excellence
- Contemporary relevance
- Alignment with Ford priorities
- Potential for strategic impact
- Potential to transform stereotypes, beliefs, and value systems
- Creativity and innovation in form
- Potential to build cultural power and voice in marginalized communities
2) Eligibility
Eligible applicants are media organisations and individuals.
3) Location
Actions can take place in various countries worldwide.
4) Budget

5) Application
JustFilms accepts letters of inquiry for grants year round, averaging between 800 and 1,000 inquiries. Their funds are limited, and they are able to support only a small percentage of these projects through direct grants. The submission is done online.
