Manitoba Indigenous Short Film Fund
The Manitoba Indigenous Short Film Fund is a new initiative designed to increase Indigenous-made projects by supporting the production of a short film. This Fund aims to amplify the unique voices of Indigenous storytellers and creative prairie-based talent, contributing to the professional development of emerging and mid-career writers, directors, and producers.
Each selected team will receive up to $20,000 in production financing provided by Manitoba Film & Music and the Indigenous Screen Office to complete a short film. A maximum of three projects / teams will be selected.
