The Third Sector

Documentaries are a powerful force for change – they have a transformational quality which inspires people and organisations to ENGAGE and to ACT.

The media landscape is changing fast and in this new world, charities, foundations, brands and companies with CSR agendas can join the content commissioners, partnering with passionate directors and producers and together forging new models for funding, distribution, outreach and participation.

Brokering

The BRITDOC Foundation brokers partnerships between charities and foundations and filmmakers to create effective campaigns around groundbreaking films.
