About us

We support provocative and challenging non-fiction films with an international reach. We are a not for profit co-operative raising donations from individuals, groups and organisations who believe in using the power of film to make change. We provide development and production funding, as well as campaigning outreach support to each film we work with. These elements combine to make Tipping Point Film Fund a unique and exciting new venture. We are supported by The Co-operative.

The Power of People and Film

Tipping Point Film Fund is for people from all walks of life, all ages and all parts of the world – supporting challenging, truth telling films.

The power of film to provoke debate and become a focal point for pushing new ideas is becoming more and more routine. They can be used to influence thinking at the highest political level as well as a tool around which grass-roots organisations can mobilise – and much more in between.

We at Tipping Point Film Fund know at first hand the power of people and film through our previous experiences of working on projects such as Bamako, Black Gold and the Great African Scandal. As with these films, to challenge prevailing thinking, to reveal the real story behind some of the issues we may think we know, and to back films that reflect the global inter-connectedness of the rich world and the global south – for good and bad – is what we are confident the films we support can achieve.

We do this because we know the combined power of people and films can effectively put pressure on people with power, can mainstream the voices of the oppressed, and can play a major role in mobilising for action.

We want the films we support to move, inspire and engage  audiences around the world – and from there, to get involved in the campainging-for-change potential each and every film we support will have.  Join us!
