thIS MONTH’S Programming:
In September we observe National Truth and Reconciliation day so the focus of our September DRIFF in a Jiff screenings will be on three short films that come to us from the Weengushk Film Institute. The WFI is a non-profit, artist-focused film and television-training centre, dedicated to unlocking the creative potential of Indigenous and diverse youth.
While celebrating and sharing their voices, these emerging Indigenous artists learn market leading and life skills, as they begin their path towards inspired and sustainable futures.
Through an understanding of tradition, culture, and identity, WFI envisions the collection, preservation, and representation of new creative voices. The development and recognition of Indigenous youth at WFI supports the important contribution of Indigenous stories to the Canadian arts landscape.
