## [All Roads film project](https://animate.org.uk/editorial/2004/03/all-roads-film-project/)

The US National Geographic Society Project is offering seed grants to assist world-wide “indigenous or minority-culture filmmakers” to create new projects.

One of the unexpected treats of last year’s globetrotting RESFEST was the ‘Off the Map’, the most geographically-grounded programme in the digitally-orientated festival. Now the programme’s sponsor National Geographic is going one stage further with the **All Roads Film Project**. This includes the All Roads Film Festival (with master classes and workshops) in Los Angeles and Washington this October, plus ten seed grants of $3,000 awarded during 2004 (with the possibility of an All Roads Fellowship of up to $100,000 next year to complete a seeded project).

In both instances National Geographic are seeking animation, music videos, features, documentaries and shorts with an international focus, in which “indigenous and minority-culture storytellers bring their lives, experiences and cultures to new audiences.”

Festival submission deadline 31 May 2004. Seed grants are awarded on a rolling basis.
