The MacArthur Foundation applications for Documentary Film Grants are now open so join us for this rare opportunity to
meet with Program Officer Lauren Pabst to get the inside scoop about how to submit your best proposal.
Lauren manages the Foundation’s highly competitive independent documentary production fund.
MacArthur funds the production of documentary films and participatory web-based documentaries that
combine exceptional storytelling with in-depth journalism.
They look for projects that challenge preconceptions and examine underreported social issues.
Grant amounts range from $50,000 - $200,000 and
in the past year projects from the Women Make Movies Production Assistance Program that were
funded include ASK THE SEXPERT and STRONG ISLAND. Come and learn whether or not your current or future
project is a good fit and what you need to know if you do apply.

Sexual Assault Awareness Month
IT WAS RAPE gives human faces and voices to statistics, breaking through the silence, denial and victim blaming that allow an epidemic to thrive.The Hunting Ground has newly sparked national conversation surrounding campus sexual assault.
U.S. sexual assault statistics are startling, and have remained unchanged for
decades; college students have some of the highest rates of sexual assault.
By award-winning feminist author, filmmaker and activist
Jennifer Baumgardner (Manifesta: Young Women, Feminism, & the Future and F 'em! Goo Goo, Gaga, & Some Thoughts on Balls), this documentary
engages audiences in a needed dialogue about the prevalence of sexual
assaults in the U.S., at our schools and colleges, and
the elements promoting rape culture on and off campus.
