Donate to be a part of #FORMingOurFuture!

As we move into our 8th annual festival, there continues to be an increased demand for supporting youth and emerging artists in the development and creation of movement-based films. This year, we received over 80 applications to our Commissioning Programs and are excited about the potential for further growth, inspiring more creators to get curious about the interplay between the camera and movement!

We see the community recognizing the immense value and potential of movement-on-screen, and we’re finding new ways to continue supporting youth and emerging artists. We’re dreaming of a future where youth filmmakers are thriving, and we need your help to get there. As our community of creators grows, we want to grow in our ability to support them and their work. 

Each donation provides opportunities for youth and emerging filmmakers by covering:

  • Screening fees

  • Commissioning costs

  • Mentorships

  • Workshop Facilitation

  • And so much more!

At F-O-R-M, youth aren't the exception, they're the rule - your support will celebrate and recognize them for the change-makers they are.

“Working with F-O-R-M was a pleasure. Their communication throughout the whole process was one of the best we have ever experienced as artists. Their funding system allowed us to create a carefully crafted film which can be difficult in a world of fast-consumed media. I highly recommend any artist interested in movement to check this festival out.”

“My experience with F-O-R-M was a very pivotal space for my growth as an artist and person in this early stage of my career. F-O-R-M provided resources, education, and a safe space to approach first time filmmaking in a way that felt accessible and easeful for me.”
