The Winnipeg Film Group's Mosaic Women's Film Project is a special production support and film mentorship program to assist two women of Aboriginal or diverse cultural backgrounds* to produce a first or second independent short film or video. There are TWO awards available.
This award includes $2,500 to support living expenses over the five-month project period, $5,000 in cash to be used to support development and production costs, $2,500 in services from the Winnipeg Film Group (workshops / training, equipment, cameras, studio rentals, etc.) and the assistance of a mentor.
This fund supports filmmakers who intend to work in narrative, experimental or documentary, or hybrid / cross-genre work in film or video. The award funding and timeframe is ideal to support a film or video that is 3-5 minutes in length.
Works created via this second edition of the Mosaic Women's Film Project premiered in early 2010 at our Cinematheque.
* For the purposes of this program, Aboriginal peoples include Status, Non-Status, Métis and Inuit people. Diverse cultural background refers to persons of African, Asian, Latin American or Middle Eastern origin.
