new creative documentary projects from these countries, which can be submitted in the following categories: (1) Project Development, (2) Production and (3) Post-production.
In this second round of 2013, it is also possible to submit a project in the category Other Activities (Documentary Festivals). The Fund is looking for activities dedicated to the screening of documentaries and taking place in developing countries.
The IDFA Bertha Fund will work with the selected filmmakers and organizations to determine if any other form of assistance and coaching is necessary for the project.
