The 2022 imagineNATIVE Tour Programs are closed for the season!
The imagineNATIVE Tour is one of imagineNATIVE's largest initiatives outside of our annual Festival. Every year, the imagineNATIVE Tour brings Indigenous-made film and video works, as well as community engagement activities to communities across Turtle Island (Canada).
After each Festival, imagineNATIVE curates a selection of Indigenous works from across Canada that get featured as part of the upcoming imagineNATIVE Tour Programs. The Tour Programs encompass a Short Film Focus, a Documentary Film Focus, and a Dramatic Film Focus.
Our preferred presentation method for Screenings has been impacted by COVID-19 restrictions and our inability to accommodate in-person screenings at this time. imagineNATIVE utilizes Elevent for an online ticketing system and our online platform, watch.imagineNATIVE.org to facilitate the imagineNATIVE Tour stops.
If you have any questions or concerns please connect with our Tour Coordinator at tour@imagineNATIVE.org.
Please note that as proud supporters of Indigenous artists, we charge for screening fees that go directly to the artist for their work, however, in the past we have been happy to negotiate screening fees with Indigenous communities, organizations, institutions, and youth programs.
This year, we are excited to offer the imagineNATIVE Tour Brochure in an Accessible PDF Format for all our viewers!
