The imagineNATIVE Film + Media Arts Festival is the world's largest Indigenous film and media arts festival,[1] held annually in Toronto. The festival focuses on the film, video, radio, and new media work of Indigenous, Aboriginal and First Peoples from around the world. The festival includes screenings, parties, panel discussions, and cultural events.
As an organization, imagineNATIVE supports the creation of new works through their commissioning program, and national outreach to and for Indigenous communities through various off-site programs throughout the year. imagineNATIVE also commissions industry reports on the status of Indigenous film production in Canada.[2]
Held in October each year for most of its history, in February 2024 the festival announced that it would not be held that year, and will shift to June in 2025.[3]
