US Council on Foundations Film Festival
The Film & Video Festival showcases foundation-funded productions and the strategies by which grantmakers use film, video and television productions to advance their program goals. Every year, the Council features the Film & Video Festival during its conferences. The festival showcases work funded by foundations and corporate giving programs.

One World Film Festival
International Human Rights Film Festival One World believes that the power of documentary film resides as much in the means of expression as in the content and message of a particular film. The Festival strives to provide an inside look, while fully accepting there are no simple answers. Organized by the People in Need Foundation under the auspices of former president Václav Havel and Pavel Bém, Mayor of Prague, One World presents high-quality documentaries that take a concerned and often critical look at the present-day world and its transformations.
