Lost in Transmission
Lost in Transmission is a micro-documentary film grant by Freedom Film Fest that empowers community storytellers and emerging filmmakers to bring underrepresented perspectives and lived experiences to the screen. Through funding and creative support, the initiative nurtures bold storytelling that challenges dominant narratives, sparks meaningful conversations, and brings greater visibility to issues of human rights and social justice.
Under this year’s theme, Technology Meets Life, the grant explores the increasingly complex relationship between technology and our everyday realities. From the ways we connect, communicate, and build communities to the inequalities, power structures, and barriers that technology can reinforce, these creative factual films examine the human stories behind our rapidly changing digital world, as well as what a more inclusive and just digital future could look like.
