Programs
Fellowship
The DFPI’s Fellowship Program supports a select cohort of filmmakers, journalists, and scholars whose research probes the boundaries, opportunities, and dilemmas at the heart of public interest documentary practice and purpose.
Research
A collection of relevant work our DFPI Fellows have contributed to the field since their time at the Shorenstein Center.

Each year, the DFPI hosts the Doc Ideas Symposium at Harvard Kennedy School. The symposium is a research-oriented convening that brings together fellows, scholars, filmmakers, industry leaders and invited guests to examine the ethical, editorial, and structural challenges shaping the documentary film ecosystem today.
