THE STORY
The Diverse Voices in Docs (DVID) Fellowship supporting emerging filmmakers in the Midwest celebrated ten years of elevating dynamic BIPOC filmmakers.
THE CHALLENGE
After ten years, Diverse Voices in Documentary is no longer distinctive in the landscape of support for filmmakers who identify as Black, Indigenous, and other people of color.
THE OPPORTUNITY
Position Diverse Voices in Documentary as a program for filmmakers who view documentary as a practice, not simply a genre or a format; elevate the voices of filmmakers whose views and work traverse differences and destabilize sameness.
