Why to Fund AIFF?
The Arctic is home to multiple Indigenous peoples. It is also a hotspot for the development of the global economy due to climate change. The increased interest in the region requires that Arctic Indigenous people have the opportunity to make their voices heard.
Arctic communities are suffering from substantial effects of climate change in their everyday lives. Traditional ways of living are rapidly changing due to environmental shifts like landslides, erosion, permafrost thawing, and sea ice melting. In many places in the Arctic, mining, port construction, new sea routes, and building oil and gas pipelines are privatizing land and endangering the environment. The situation is emerging.
Arctic Indigenous Film Fund directly impacts on everyday lives of the Indigenous communities in the Arctic.
We are capable of
- providing a bridge between traditional knowledge and the academic world by training filmmakers in local communities
- creating film and digital media business in the Arctic
- bringing the rich Arctic storytelling tradition to a mainstream audience
- working against climate change.
We must create livelihoods and opportunities for the younger generation in the creative field. Indigenous cinema represents freedom of expression and strengthens the rights of Indigenous peoples living in the Arctic.
