 Catapult Film Fund will reopen its grant opportunities in 2027, and now is the perfect time to get prepared.

With the goal of supporting more filmmakers across Latin America and the Caribbean, VC is hosting this event with Catapult Film Fund to share more about their funding opportunities with the region’s documentary community.

Catapult Film Fund supports nonfiction filmmakers with funding during the early stages of short & feature development, as well as mentorship and guidance to help them create distinctive films centered on compelling stories with a strong cinematic vision.

During this event, you’ll have the opportunity to ask the guests questions directly and learn more about the types of stories they support, what they look for in applications, the grants they offer, the areas where they can support projects, and much more.

This is your opportunity to connect with them and get answers to all your questions about the funding opportunities available.
