Washington, DC, as we know it today, has a treasured cultural legacy that spans generations.  HumanitiesDC (HDC) is committed to supporting projects that breathe life into the unique stories of our rich communities.  HDC is seeking qualified partners for its DC DOCS program to help us with this mission.

DC DOCS provides financial and capacity building resources to established filmmakers interested in telling a humanities story about Washington, DC through a documentary short film.  Potential projects must incorporate relevant humanities scholarship into the stories that they tell.

Selected partners will have the opportunity to work with the HDC grants team who will provide capacity-building and subject-matter support throughout the life of the project.

Proposals will be reviewed in June and selected projects will be announced in early July.
