The Economist Film Project

The Economist Film Project is an initiative by The Economist, in 
partnership with PBS NewsHour, to showcase the work of independent 
documentary filmmakers from around the world. From Abu Dhabi to 
Albuquerque, from astronomy to agriculture, the project will feature 
films whose new ideas, perspectives, and insights not only help make 
sense of the world, but also take a stand and provoke debate. The 
Economist and PBS NewsHour will jointly curate the project to choose 
films by filmmakers who share these goals. Selected films and the 
topics they explore will be the subject of news segments airing 
regularly on PBS NewsHour beginning in March 2011 and continuing 
through 2011 and into 2012.

The project seeks submissions of completed documentary films on a 
rolling basis beginning January 10, 2011 and continuing monthly through 
January 2012. Both documentary shorts and feature-length films may be 
submitted. The Economist will provide filmmakers whose films are chosen 
with a grant of $4,000 to produce six to eight minutes of footage from 
the film (or footage captured during the making of the film) for airing 
on PBS NewsHour as part of the segment. NewsHour plans to feature 
approximately three films each month. After airing, the film-oriented 
news segments will be packaged independently and given additional 
exposure through various outlets, including this website, The 
Economist's YouTube channel and Facebook fan page, and the PBS NewsHour 
website, YouTube and Hulu channels. Our goal is to showcase the 
selected segments, films, and filmmakers as broadly as possible.

SUBMISSION DEADLINE

Submissions of completed documentary films will be accepted on a 
rolling basis beginning January 10, 2011 and continuing monthly through 
January 2012.
