Your Support has Impact!
Your support will help:
- Produce a comprehensive online, asynchronous, training program in documentary filmmaking. It is our mission to make our training programs available to storytellers around the world facing all forms of social and economic injustices. It is our belief that for the international community to better address the challenges of the world we must learn about the problems and solutions from the local perspective. This initiative will allow anyone to learn documentary filmmaking – especially those in places and situations where in-person training is not possible and meeting online is difficult.
- Fund for Afghan Evacuation and Resettlement (FAER) – Help Afghans find safety and rebuild their lives. We are no longer accepting funds designated for FAER as our ability to help has been impacted by the Trump administration’s closure of the US refugee and resettlement programs. With the generous support you have already provided, we continue to help families already settled in the US, refugees still in dire situations in Afghanistan, Pakistan and Iran, and to advocate for the resumption of the US refugee and resettlement programs.
FAER started in August of 2021 in response to the pullout by the US and the take over of Afghanistan by the Taliban. CSFilm supporters have generously contributed over $60,000 which was (and continues to be) used to help 21 families with subsistence, evacuation, temporary relocation and legal aid. FAER was reopened in November of 2024 to help Afghan refugees arriving in the US and those still in Afghanistan, Pakistan and Iran, but is once again not accepting new donations.
- Research and develop new training, production, and public engagement projects.
