Skodoodisden Project

Skodoodisden is an innovative filmmaking project, led by the Winnipeg Indigenous Filmmakers Collective (WIFC). This initiative serves as a series of four filmmaking incubators, creating an inclusive space for artists of all experience levels, from brand new enthusiasts to seasoned veterans. The initiative will explore different forms of filmmaking, and participants will gain experience and skills within the independent film industry. The project focuses on fostering creativity, collaboration, and narrative sovereignty, empowering filmmakers to produce films that authentically represent Indigenous perspectives.

Supported by the Indigenous Screen Office, ‘Skodoodisden’ not only aims to advance Indigenous representation in the film industry, but also strives to decolonize the film and arts sector, ensuring Indigenous creators have the agency to tell their own stories.

The Switch-A-Roo Incubator marks the inaugural phase of the Skodoodisden Project, designed to foster collaboration and skill development among Indigenous filmmakers. This incubator embraces inclusivity by pairing individuals of varying expertise.
