Ask Programming: Recent Questions from Filmmakers

ITVS programming staff answer questions from filmmakers about the funding process:

Q: I’m a filmmaker from Argentina with an urgent documentary in development, and I need seed money. Do you offer any funding for research and development?

A: ITVS’s capacity to fund projects outside of its standing initiatives is extremely limited and highly competitive. Currently, ITVS funding for research and development is reserved for U.S. filmmakers.

Q: How often does International Call occur? When is the next deadline?

A: International Call occurs once a year; the deadline is traditionally the first Friday in February. Our next deadline is Friday, February 5, 2010. An online application is posted in mid-September.

    Different point of view from that post. Interesting to say the least.

    Pitty that ITVS doesn't fund anyone but Americans. I'm sure with some diversified funding many new budding film makers would be uncovered.

    ITVS does provide funding for international filmmakers through the ITVS International Call. Through the International Call, storytellers from other countries introduce U.S. audiences to their global neighbors, opening a window into unfamiliar lives, experiences and perspectives.
