AIDC is calling on supporters to donate to Leading Lights, a philanthropically funded program – dedicated to creating a more inclusive and diverse screen industry.

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 and early-career, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander, LGBTQIA+, d/Deaf, disabled and neurodiverse, regional and remote, and culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) nonfiction practitioners to attend AIDC for the first time and participate in a customised professional development program.

Thanks to the contributions of industry donors, over 350 emerging and diverse screen creatives have been able to attend AIDC and participate in Leading Lights since the program’s launch in 2018.

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 $715 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.
