What it does
Doc Society consists of five legally separate and independent entities; Doc Society and Doc Society Charitable Trust in the UK, Doc Society Inc in the US, Stichting Doc Society in the Netherlands and Doc Society Australia Pty Ltd. These entities have identical aims and objectives and often work in close collaboration with one another. We support documentary filmmakers globally, providing them with production finance and editorial, strategic, legal, and other forms of support. We also seek to encourage new partnerships between filmmakers and NGOs, charities and other funders to provide additional financing, strategic support and distribution opportunities for documentary film projects.
