ABOUT FUTURE OF FILM SHOWCASE
The Future of Film Showcase (FOFS) is a Canadian not-for-profit media arts organization presenting works from emerging Canadian Filmmakers, while at a crucial stage in their emergence as an artist and storyteller, as well as elevating work by women, BIPOC, 2SLGBTQIA+, and other emerging creatives from traditionally marginalized communities. FOFS fosters the future of Canadian film by providing burgeoning artists and filmmakers with professional development opportunities, as well as a national platform through an annual film festival.
ABOUT POV
As a country that prides itself on multiculturalism, Canada’s workforce ought to reflect its population. But time and again, its largest and most lucrative industries have systematically excluded diverse communities, limiting the range and quality of ideas and talent we have access to. At POV, diversity is more than ticking off a box. It’s less about what we say and more about what we do. Beyond a buzzword, there is a moral and economic imperative to ensure the film, television and creative industries we work in enable individuals who have a variety of life experiences to thrive to make the sector more creative and more innovative. Our programs intentionally prioritize BIPOC, 2SLGBTQIA+, newcomer and refugee communities to ensure everyone has access to the tools and training they need to tell the stories that mean the most to them. Slowly but surely, the impact of this work is being felt, but we are determined to do more.
