¡®VODA¡¯ in Korean means ¡®To See.¡¯ Documentarists document ¡®what they see¡¯ to ¡®be seen¡¯ by the audience. At a glance, this world seems to have so many barriers based on one¡¯s nationality, race, gender, culture, etc. However, looking into someone closely, we can see that most human beings share the similar concerns, sufferings, and aspirations. With that thought, DMZ Docs Industry changed the name of the previous ¡®Development Fund¡¯ into ¡®THE VODA FUND¡¯ this year.
This fund is for the projects that are in development or early production stage. We hope to be the first international supporter for Asian projects. Projects that have received support from any international organizations are NOT ELIGIBLE. Domestic Support (Project¡¯s own country) recipients are eligible.
