What we fund
DocA funds by stage. A filmmaker can come in at any point in a film’s life, and an organisation can be funded to build the field around them.
Development
Research, treatment, early structure and the thinking that decides which film you are making.
Production
Getting the film shot, with editorial support alongside the shoot rather than after it.
Postproduction
Edit, rough-cut consulting and finishing — turning footage into a film that can travel.
Impact Production
Campaigns, screenings and the relationships that carry a film past its premiere, through Real Reel Impact.
The second track
Organisation support
Project support for documentary organisations on the continent: trainings, workshops, residencies, labs, mentorships, festivals and film markets.
GAPWhat DocA does not fund is still to be written with DocA. It saves applicants and juries time, and it is missing from the current site.
