Documentary Film in the Public Interest Fellowship

The fellowship program advances research and innovation at the intersection of documentary, nonfiction media, and a rapidly evolving information environment. It brings together filmmakers, journalists, scholars, creators, and industry leaders in an interdisciplinary intellectual community that supports their individual research while fostering shared inquiry across fields.

The initiative’s current research agenda focuses on two interconnected areas: the future of public media and civic infrastructure, and the evolving role of documentary within online media ecosystems.
