Support Our Campaigns
Sundar Prize Film Festival has grown into a major social-impact film initiative.
The 2025 festival reported 850+ attendees and 54 selected films, while the 2026 festival welcomed over 2,000 attendees and screened 62 films selected from 823 submissions.
Help Increase Sundar Prize's Social Impact
Sundar Prize’s year-round impact now includes:
- Filmmaker Mentorship Program
- Youth Jury Program
- BC Youth Storyteller’s Contest
- BC Culture Days
- Volunteer engagement
- Student programming
Our core programs are essential, but long-term sustainability requires more independent revenue.
Your generous donation to our special campaigns helps us maintain and grow these year-round initiatives.
