imagineNATIVE Film and Media Arts Festival

imagineNATIVE is the world’s largest presenter of Indigenous screen content. They have been recognized globally for their innovative programming and as the global centre for Indigenous media arts, known most prominently for the imagineNATIVE Film + Media Arts Festival that takes place annually in October. As a subsector within the creative industries, the film industry has been hit particularly hard by COVID-19 and subsequent repercussions related to stay-at-home orders and social distancing measures to control the spread of the disease. This project will be addressing challenges related to the recovery of the film industry in the short- and medium-term, as well as exploring and expanding on sustainable hybrid solutions for the long-term.
