Canon Video Grant – Short Film Documentary

Canon together with the International Festival of Photojournalism Visa pour l’Image-Perpignan, are pleased to be presenting the sixth Canon Video Grant for a short film documentary. The recipient will be awarded a grant of €8,000 plus the use of pioneering Canon professional video equipment to be made available on loan.

The 2025 award winner will use the funding to work on her/his project.

In September 2025, the project will be presented as a preliminary teaser, and the final version of the video report will be screened at the 2026 festival in Perpignan.

This year, we are honored to present the film of 2024 grantee Alan Lau, who has been documenting the harrowing journey of young Nepali cattle on their way to the slaughterhouse. A story captured from the animals’ perspective, it reveals themes of corruption, cruelty and the harsh realities of consumerism.

Download the 2025 rules above and participate before May 27, 2025.
