Year after year, it is the volunteers who make our event such a success, and each festival even better than the last. Volunteers take part in many different aspects of the festival, from behind-the-scenes planning to event hospitality to promotional and outreach opportunities. |
Opportunities for Youth
WAFF champions the participation and development of younger, first-time Aboriginal filmmakers. We promote the media arts as a career path to indigenous youth: from providing new and nascent First Nations, Metis, and Inuit talent the exciting and educational opportunity to debut their work before a local and supportive audience, to entry-level developmental workshops, to our annual youth pitching forum.
Commited & Connected to Artists
In addition to proudly paying screening fees to artists every festival, WAFF is a member of the Independent Media Arts Alliance (IMAA), a national arts service organization representing over 80 production, distribution and exhibition centres, and over 12,000 artists and cultural workers. We are also part of the National Indigenous Media Arts Coalition, made up of a growing number of cultural festivals, media artists and groups.
