Introduction

The ISO is offering Travel Funding to support Indigenous screen-based creatives for activities that require travel including festival and market attendance, conferences, community engagement, training opportunities, and artistic screen-based collaboration across Canada and internationally.

This funding is designed for:

Indigenous individuals who have a track record of working in screen-based content whose career and professional network would benefit from the proposed travel;

Emerging talent who can leverage a festival/conference/workshop into new learning opportunities, experiences, or professional development;

Established Indigenous screen-based creators and Indigenous-owned production companies who are executing an international, or new market strategy, and whose business would benefit from the proposed activities.

This program is open to Indigenous Companies, and First Nations, Inuit, and Métis Individuals (including sole proprietors).
