Presented last year during the MIBFF 2020.
Since the violent death of George Floyd on May 25, 2020, the Black Lives Matter movement has experienced a climax in the United States, Canada and across Europe. Black communities of all generations have spoken loud and clear about the widespread mistreatment of them. At a time when questions are still strongly present and in all circles, the word is turned this time on the side of decision-makers in the arts and culture. How do distributors of Canadian and Quebec public funds ensure that funding, support and programs continue to be created and made available to black and racialized artists in the film and television industry?
