Help Artists get to Berlin’s Film Market!

Each year imagineNATIVE supports travel to the Festival as well as our Institute’s professional development initiatives. We support a handful of rising and talented artists by bringing them to world-class markets to develop their films and content for audiences, as well as assist with distribution and networking connections. Will you help us with their travel costs?

One of these initiatives is the NATIVe Fellows program. Every February, imagineNATIVE attends the Berlin International Film Festival business conference called the European Film Market (EFM) with a delegation of Indigenous feature film producers who participate in a highly curated program to train and educate them in one of the world’s most important markets for screen media.

We’ve made 75% of our $20,000 goal! Help us celebrate our 20th anniversary by contributing today.

“Being a part of the NATIVe Fellows Producers Lab was an incredible opportunity and experience, allowing me to connect with Indigenous filmmakers from around the globe and make important, strong connections with the global community. As an independent producer based in Canada, co-production has become an important part of being able to put together successful projects, and this lab provided the ability to create a strong network of Indigenous (and non-Indigenous) filmmakers to potentially collaborate with. The support from imagineNATIVE for this initiative was essential; not only did they fund my trip to Berlin, but their ability to facilitate connections and interactions at the festival and the EFM was what made my experience so fruitful. This program is a must for any independent Indigenous Canadian producer.”
