Started in 1998 the imagineNATIVE Film + Media Arts Festival and its annual tour (that takes selected programming to remote Indigenous communities) is in its 15th annual edition starting October 22 and focuses on new and innovative film, video, radio, and new media works.
In its policy statement the festival says “imagineNATIVE considers film, video, radio and new media works made by Canadian and international Indigenous artists. In programming work for imagineNATIVE, the festival strives to represent a diversity of ideas, themes and genres in its programming, seeking representations of subjects that would not necessarily be made available through the mainstream forms of media.”
According to the organizers the festival is “now regarded as one of the most important Indigenous film and media arts festivals in the world.”
