Documentary film

The Volkart Foundation supports projects and initiatives in the fields of Ecology, the Social Sector, Media, and Documentary Film. With our commitment, we want to contribute to the protection of the climate, soil and ecosystems, enable equal opportunities and social inclusion for all, promote a balanced Media diversity and support Documentary Films related to these topics.

We emphasis a systemic programme approach, the use of synergies, and an interdisciplinary way of working, so that not only symptoms are alleviated but also root causes of social challenges are addressed.
