This fund aims to help indigenous filmmakers tell their own stories about the Arctic

The Norway-based International Sámi Film Institute, together with film-development institutes in Greenland and Nunavut, aim to establish a $26 million-fund to support indigenous filmmaking in the Arctic.

Indigenous film institutes from the North are seeking to establish a fund they hope will allow them to counter depictions of the region portrayed in mainstream film, while at the same time developing an industry that will make it attractive for young people to remain in Arctic communities.
