The call for entries for the 31st edition is now closed!
Thank you to everyone who submitted a film! We will contact you over the next few months to let you know if your film has been selected for the next edition of the Festival, which will take place March 17–21, 2027.
Indigenous Perspectives
This will also mark the fourth edition of the INDIGENOUS PERSPECTIVES section, a competition that celebrates the artistic and cinematic richness of Indigenous cultures.
This section is the result of a long-term effort aimed at building bridges between non-Indigenous and Indigenous peoples, creating networking opportunities for filmmakers, and most importantly, offering a platform for Indigenous stories told by Indigenous voices.
The film selection is entirely curated by programmers Jess Murwin (Mi’kmaq, Scottish, Welsh), Rosalie Guay (Anishinaabe), and Vincent Careau (Huron-Wendat).
To be eligible, at least one of the key positions linked to the production or direction must be occupied by indigenous. Films submitted to this competition are also eligible for all other Festival’s sections. (link which leads to the description of the general call).
We will prioritize films produced in 2026-2027.
A $3,000 cash prize is offered to the winner, and all films are eligible for the Focus Competition audience award.
The deadline is November 1st. The festival invites you to write to [email protected] to obtain a waiver code to submit your film·s for free.
