AIFIS-Luce Documentary Filmmaker Grants
AIFIS invites filmmakers to apply for the AIFIS-Luce Documentary Filmmaker Grants, a new initiative amplifying scholarship on Indonesia and its diaspora in the U.S. through documentary film. Grants ranging from $2000 to $4000, generously supported by the Henry Luce Foundation, will support filmmakers working on projects at any phase of filmmaking. We're particularly excited about projects engaging both Indonesian and American filmmakers, topics that connect Indonesian Studies with the Indonesian diaspora in the U.S., and projects that invite broad perspectives on Indonesia for diverse audiences in the U.S.
