U.K. independent film showcase, the Raindance Film Festival, has partnered with international legal firm Guernica 37 Group (G37) to develop films based on human rights cases.
This collaboration aims to produce up to six documentary and fact-based features, using G37’s archive of justice and accountability cases. Raindance will manage the filmmaking process from script development through production and exhibition, utilizing its experience in independent cinema.
The venture plans to create a joint production company and documentary film fund, targeting £3 million ($3.8 million) through a philanthropic capital fundraising model. This approach allows donors such as foundations, high net worth individuals, and family offices to increase their social impact in a tax-efficient manner.
