Description
The 2026 Automation & Humanity Documentary Fund offers grants to support artist-driven, cinematic non-fiction projects that investigate the mechanisms, risks, and global stakes of autonomous systems and AI.
- Grants available: $8,000 for feature research, $4,000 for short research, supporting early-stage development such as travel, casting, and preliminary shooting.
- Open to filmmakers worldwide, with a preference for teams with at least one prior credit; first-time filmmakers are encouraged to partner with experienced producers.
- Projects must be independently produced, retain creative control, and demonstrate narrative ambition, visual distinction, and mainstream viability.
- Grantees participate in monthly virtual sessions and must submit narrative, creative, financial, and visual deliverables at the end of the grant period.
