About the Institute

A citizen-led initiative bringing Red River Métis citizens and screen professionals together.

Our proposed vision

We envision a thriving, self-determined Red River Métis screen industry: one where our people have the power, resources and opportunities to create, own, produce and share our stories with the world.

Why storytelling matters

Storytelling preserves culture, supports healing, strengthens identity, creates economic opportunity and carries the knowledge of one generation into the next. We seek to build on generations of Métis storytellers, artists, cultural leaders and mentors.

Shaped by our people

This consultation invites citizens and industry participants to identify practical steps and help determine how a proposed Métis Film Institute could support our community. We are also gathering interest in a future community meeting.

Our current status

The Institute is a proposed, citizen-led initiative in development. This website does not establish formal membership or represent an appointment as an agency of the Manitoba Métis Federation.
