Vice Canada highlighted the first anniversary of the WFG’s Aboriginal Filmmaker Collective, and in particular women Indigenous filmmaker, in its article, “Is Winnipeg at the Forefront of Canada’s Aboriginal Film Scene?“ by Whitney Light (Nov 30, 2015).

Additionally, the prestigious Sundance Festival has just announced that Caroline Monnet‘s newest film, Mobilize, has been selected as one of the 13 films included in its International Narrative Shorts Films program.
