LEF Moving Image Fund 10th Anniversary

The LEF Moving Image Fund was launched in 2001, to support New England-based independent filmmakers. The decision to create a fund devoted to one discipline-independent media, and documentaries specifically-was a departure for the LEF Foundation. Prior to this, we had supported the contemporary arts more broadly in New England. But we saw an opportunity to support a community of artists whose work was underfunded and under-recognized, despite New England's reputation as a center for documentary nationally, and to make a real difference with our funding.
