AWARDS GIVEN:

ALEX SANDERS STUDENT FILMMAKER AWARD
Named in honor of noted educator and South Carolina statesman, Alex Sanders, in recognition of his service to the College of Charleston and South Carolina, this annual award is made to student documentary filmmakers.  
 
Center for the Documentary grants these awards to College of Charleston undergraduates and new alumni planning on attending graduate school for film, media, or documentary studies. These awards are intended to help students conduct summer-long documentary fieldwork projects. Center for the Documentary sets no restrictions on the subject of the project, but does want to see work that explores the question: “How do we come to know others and the worlds they inhabit?”
