“Since 2003, the documentary project in California has supported the narrators of stories who have the reflection of their work, dialogue and connection,” Rick Nogucci, President and CEO of California in the humanities said in a statement. “These new projects remind us that when one voice is raised, it can be repeated through societies – which makes us see ourselves in each other and deepen our understanding of what to live together in California.”
This announcement comes several months after the Trump administration was completed by 85 percent of grants by the National Endowment of Arts, and the filmmakers who received prizes informed that “his intention re -distributing funding allocations in a new direction in strengthening the president’s agenda.”
Meanwhile, the Trump administration also canceled millions of dollars as grants from the NEH that goes to support government human councils, including the human sciences. After announcing these sudden discounts, the humanities have suspended all programs and grants until further notice. “But the Org website on the web includes an update,” The Humanities in California received an official notice from the national endowment of humanities (NEH) that ending our Federal Federation, and part of this financing was returned. “
Looking at these conflicting signs from Washington, it is still unclear how long the long human sciences will be able to provide support to filmmakers and documentary materials to move forward.

“Over the years, the California’s documentary project raised hundreds of votes and brought California stories to the fans locally, nationally and internationally,” said Org in a statement. “With federal financing in the flow, the future of the program is uncertain, which makes this round of prizes a special meaning.”
“We congratulate these beneficiaries on their vision and their commitment to bringing in the urgent and convincing California stories to the screen,” he added.
The humanities in California have been the company of the National State of Humanities since 1975.
