Fellowships

One World Media fellowship seeks applications from filmmakers, journalists

DEADLINE: MARCH 21, 2024 — Early to mid-career filmmakers and journalists from the global south, with creative and engaging non-fiction stories about the global south can apply for this One World Media fellowship.

One World Media fellowship is a springboard for new talent covering stories globally with creativity and integrity.

Selected fellows receive a £1,000 production grant, one-to-one mentoring and a year-round programme of industry workshops and webinars, while they produce a non-fiction piece of media.

The Fellowship is aimed at aspiring journalists and filmmakers from the global south working in film, print, audio, photography or multimedia.

While the fellowship is open to anyone from all around the world, it particularly encourages submissions from underrepresented groups (people of colour, ethnic groups, women, LGBTQ+, or people with disabilities).

The deadline for applications is March 21, 2024.
