Planet Health Film Fund Award


Program Overview

  • The Planet Health Film Fund supports documentary filmmakers creating compelling short films that explore the connection between human health and the health of the natural environment.

  • The fund is particularly interested in stories showing how people and communities maintain healthy, fulfilling lives while remaining connected to nature in an increasingly urbanized world.

  • Filmmakers are encouraged to tell intimate, character-driven stories that reveal practical lessons about living healthier, happier and more sustainable lives.

  • Projects should explore real people, places and communities rather than abstract environmental issues.
