Indigenous Screen Office funding programs

The Indigenous Screen Office (ISO) supports Indigenous screen storytellers, funds Indigenous stories on screens, and works to increase the representation of Indigenous peoples throughout the screen industries.

Launched in 2017, the ISO is an independent, Indigenous-led organization that receives support from Canadian Heritage to amplify Indigenous voices and promote the work of Indigenous creators.

Funding program components

The ISO supports Indigenous creators and audiovisual professionals through two main programming components:

Story Fund

The Story Fund component supports Canadian Indigenous creators and professionals in the development, production, marketing and distribution of Canadian audiovisual content in any format for any distribution platform.

Sector Development

The Sector Development component supports projects that increase Indigenous participation, visibility and representation within the audiovisual sector.
