Storytelling, complexity, creativity, visual artistry, character...

Cinereach supports feature-length nonfiction and fiction films that are at the intersection of engaging storytelling, visual artistry, and vital subject matter.

Grant amounts can range from $5,000 – $50,000 per project and can be awarded to support any stage of production, including research and development, production and post-production. There are two grant cycles per year (Summer and Winter). Within each cycle, between five and fifteen projects are selected to receive support.

Independent of our biannual grant cycles, the Cinereach Award is occasionally presented to completed films that exemplify the Cinereach mission. Past recipients have been selected through an internal nomination process in connection with the Human Rights Watch Film Festival.
