Eligibilities

• OWM wants to hear from early to mid-career filmmakers and journalists from the global south, with creative and engaging non-fiction stories about the global south.
• This year they will select ​10 Fellows.
• Their Fellows experiment and learn in a supportive environment – they could be looking for their first director role or solo investigation, transitioning between mediums or industries, or tackling a challenging topic.
• As well as the integrity and creativity of the story, they also take into account their ​access​, ​ability to deliver the story​ and ​why they would benefit from the Fellowship​.
