Documentary Australia has unveiled a new title and logo to signal dropping the word ‘foundation’ from its name.

The new logo is made up of seven windows representing the organisation’s key impact areas -environment, youth, indigenous, human rights/social justice, health and wellbeing, women and girls, and the arts-  as well as the connectivity and community to create change.

CEO Dr Mitzi Goldman said, “We wrap our arms around the documentaries, we place stories at the centre of social impact strategies, and we build coalitions of partners to bring change in a troubled, divided world.”

For the past fourteen years, the not-for-profit organisation has supported Australian documentary storytellers through fundraising, education, advocacy, and strategic partnerships.

Throughout 2022, Documentary Australia will continue to focus on the environment with its Environmental Accelerator program, as well as supporting women and First Nations’ filmmakers through SheDoc and the Indigenous Fellowship program. It will also launch a project with young multidisciplinary artists collaborating on events that bring a cross generational audience to films, performance, poetry and art on social issues.
