Our Mandate is based upon the following priorities:

• Maintaining a focus on “artisan” filmmaking.
• Encouraging the participation of artists typically under-represented in mainstream film production.
• Remaining financially accessible to artists.
• Combining a range of artistic disciplines.
• Creating contexts for public screenings and critical discourse.
• Encouraging the participation of artists living and working outside of major centers for film production.
• Providing an opportunity for Ontario based artists to network with international artists and curators.
