On September 2, 2020 at 4:00pm ET, the 2020 Future of Film Showcase Industry Panel will take an interactive look at the Canadian film industry and where current systems disempower filmmakers from racialized and Indigenous communities. Focusing on the future of film and how we can make it an equitable industry for every filmmaker, the online event will feature a real discussion on current structures, emphasize accountability measures, and highlight emergent strategies. FOFS is excited to host producers, distributors, and professionals ready to sit down at the table, listen to filmmakers current obstacles, and provide solutions and resources to build a stronger media future.
