La Ford Foundation abrió la convocatoria JustFilms para apoyar proyectos documentales de cualquier parte del mundo. La iniciativa financia largometrajes documentales de mínimo 50 minutos que aborden temas de justicia social y cuya producción esté bajo control creativo de los cineastas. Se aceptan postulaciones en las etapas de desarrollo, producción y postproducción de contenido directo.
La convocatoria es internacional, permitiendo la participación de cineastas de todos los países. Los proyectos deben reflejar una narrativa que inspire, rompa estereotipos y contribuya a transformar condiciones de desigualdad e injusticia. No se aceptan cortometrajes, series, episodios ni formatos emergentes como AR/VR o podcasts.
La fecha límite de postulación es el 30 de diciembre de 2025. Los resultados serán notificados aproximadamente cuatro meses después del cierre, alrededor de abril de 2026, y los fondos se entregarán entre junio y agosto de 2026. La convocatoria no establece fechas fijas de realización, ya que los proyectos avanzan según el cronograma de producción de cada beneficiario.
