Documentary Educational Resources (DER) is seeking 1-2 energetic, skilled individuals to join our growing board. We welcome applicants with a range of interests and areas of expertise, and are particularly looking to strengthen the board in areas related to business, finance, non-profit management and fundraising. All applicants should appreciate the value of film as a medium for deepening respect and tolerance for individuals from diverse backgrounds, cultures and abilities.
DER's mission is to amplify underrepresented voices and inspire understanding about people and cultures of the world through the creation, circulation, and preservation of documentary film and media. As the premiere distributor of documentary films about cultural heritage, anthropology, arts and expression for over 50 years, DER is planning to expand our programming and our outreach. DER envisions a world in which the dignity and interconnectedness of all people are broadly embraced and in which individual and cultural differences are celebrated as essential to the richness of our shared humanity. Through the distribution of an unparalleled catalog of classic films and new acquisitions, DER seeks to ensure a diversity of voices are heard.

Mission Statement
Documentary Educational Resources’ mission is to amplify underrepresented voices and inspire understanding about people and cultures of the world through the creation, circulation, and preservation of documentary film and media. Our major programs are distribution of anthropological and cross-cultural documentary films to colleges, museums and other educational institutions, preservation of classic anthropological films and fiscal sponsorship for documentaries in production.
Description
Founded in 1968 by a group of filmmaking anthropologists for the purposes of producing films about people and cultures primarily for classroom use. The intention was then and is now, to increase awareness, understanding and tolerance of cultures different than your own. We currently support the work of young filmmakers by administering grants, providing fiscal sponsorship, and licensing a stock footage archive of historically significant material. Our primary source of revenue comes from the distribution of our programs to the educational market.
