CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS:<\/strong> <\/strong>Cinema Politica<\/a> is currently seeking submissions of independent Canadian Indigenous works for a special screening project called First Peoples First Screens<\/em>. Led by Cinema Politica, the programming initiative is a partnership with the Conseil des arts et des lettres Qu\u00e9bec (CALQ).<\/p>\n

About First Peoples First Screens:<\/strong>
\nFirst Peoples First Screens<\/em> is a specially curated program that will feature emerging and established Indigenous artists working in Quebec and Canada. The project will showcase up to 25 films and videos of varying lengths and techniques, including animation, fiction, documentary and experimental. For this distinct program, Cinema Politica will seek consultation from two of our long-standing collaborators: Indigenous filmmakers and media artists Alanis Obomsawin and Tracey Deer.<\/p>\n

While Cinema Politica is particularly interested in submissions from across Turtle Island (Canada), we welcome works from international Indigenous producers as well.<\/p>\n

First Peoples First Screens<\/em> is a program that seeks to support Indigenous artists, while creating screening spaces of solidarity in order to contribute\u2014through cultural and artistic representation\u2014to the self-determination<\/em> of communities ignored or maligned by mainstream media and violated by neocolonial government policies. As the Kino-nda-niimi Collective write in their 2014 volume on Idle No More, called The Winter We Danced<\/em>: \u00ab\u00a0Never before have Indigenous and non-Indigenous writers and artists presented to Canadians such rich art, stories, and expressive forms to others in such personal, intimate, and dynamic ways that provoke and evoke visions of the past, present and future.\u00a0\u00bb<\/em> This program takes its lead from those Indigenous artists, activists, storytellers, leaders and community-builders, and we look forward to any and all submissions.<\/p>\n

Submitting Work:<\/strong>
\nCinema Politica is looking for short, medium, and feature-length experimental, documentary, animated, and fiction films that focus on Indigenous art, culture, politics, activism, and history, made by Indigenous artists.<\/p>\n
