The IDFA Bertha Fund is a financing program dedicated to supporting socially and culturally impactful documentaries, especially from developing and transitioning countries. Its goal is to facilitate the development, production, and post-production of documentary projects that promote social change and diverse voices in documentary filmmaking.
The fund offers various grant types, including support for project development, production, and post-production. Applicants must demonstrate that their work addresses relevant issues for their communities and has the potential to generate positive social impact. Priority is given to filmmakers from the Global South, supporting stories that might not reach a global audience without this backing.
Calls for applications typically open twice a year, usually in spring and summer. Applicants need to submit a complete proposal including project details, financing plan, audiovisual samples, and a motivation letter.
