The Winnipeg Film Group is a filmmaker co-operative at its core. We acquire and maintain equipment, facilities and other related services, such as workshops and funding, that directly support the capacity of independent filmmakers in Manitoba to experiment and create in film and video.
We offer workshops, masterclasses as well as panels and Q&As to provide members and the general public and film & video artists of all levels the opportunity for training, resources, experimentation and enrichment.

The Winnipeg Film Group maintains a film and video equipment rentals program as a means of supporting independent film production in Winnipeg and Manitoba. We also support the needs of other non-profit organizations within the community, as a secondary priority.
Individuals and not-for-profit organizations wishing to access our production and post production equipment and facilities rentals program must be a WFG GENERAL MEMBER with a PRODUCTION ADD ON to access equipment in our organization (refer to our membership page for more information).
