AIDC is calling on supporters to donate to Leading Lights, a philanthropic fund for emerging and diverse documentary practitioners.

SUPPORT AIDC's LEADING LIGHTS FUND

We are now calling on supporters to donate to Leading Lights, AIDC’s philanthropic fund dedicated to building a more inclusive and diverse documentary and factual industry.

We believe that a diversity of voices and perspectives is vital for a healthy screen industry. Established in 2018, the Leading Lights Fund is designed to enable emerging, Indigenous, LGBTQIA+, d/Deaf, disabled or neurodiverse, and/or culturally and linguistically diverse practitioners to attend AIDC for the first time and participate in a customised professional development program.

Since its launch, over 300 screen creatives have participated in the Leading Lights program, all thanks to the generous contributions of our Leading Lights donors, which include individual professionals, production companies, allied industry services, broadcasters, distributors and screen agencies.

With your support we can continue to provide vital pathways for industry newcomers in establishing themselves as part of Australia’s documentary, factual and nonfiction practitioner community.

We are inviting tax-deductible donations of $705 per participant which contributes to an AIDC Sessions Pass and the accompanying Leading Lights program, to help light the way for the next generation of documentary and factual storytellers.
