On Screen Manitoba (OSM) & Winnipeg Film Group (WFG) Film Workshop Bursary is designed to support equity-deserving groups who are emerging artists and filmmakers experiencing financial barriers to taking workshops at the WFG.

This bursary aims to foster inclusivity and diversity in the film industry by providing financial assistance to those who need it most, such that everyone has the skills to see their stories come to life through film. The bursary will cover the full cost of free workshops for 4 people, who can take 3 selected workshops in one year (3 x $150 workshop fee) offered by WFG.
