Our good friends over at the National Screen Institute (NSI) have partnered with CBC to deliver the CBC New Indigenous Voices program.
The program is a 14 week course for Indigenous Canadians aged 18-35 which exposes them to opportunities in film, TV and digital media.
The 6th annual Dead North Film Festival was held last week from February 28th to March 4th and the NWTPMA was once again proud to be a sponsor of the only genre filmmaking festival in the circumpolar world.
The Northwest Territories is the only jurisdiction in Canada which denies lottery funds to be used for the arts. Under current legislation, 100 per cent of our territory’s dividend from lottery sales goes towards sports and recreation funding.
The Government of the Northwest Territories is currently reviewing the Lottery Act and an e-petition has been created by Eli Purchase of Yellowknife to allow a portion of the funds to be used to support the arts in our territory.
Happy New Year from your NWTPMA board.
Wishing you a fulfilling and creative 2018 – happy shooting!
