The Asinabka Film & Media Arts Festival is an Indigenous-run, artist-centered, not-for-profit organization that showcases contemporary and innovative Indigenous arts.<\/span><\/p>\n

We are particularly interested in supporting a diverse range of Indigenous-made film, video, media art, music and performance, in a variety of genres and formats, that reflect the realities, experiences, struggles, cultures, and languages \u200b\u200bof Indigenous peoples in Canada and abroad. We also strive to create a welcoming, fun, and accessible atmosphere for all guests, and see our festival as a gathering space for the Indigenous film and arts community. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Asinabka Festival is an Indigenous-run organization located in Ottawa on the unceded and unsurrendered territory of the Algonquin Nation. We are an important key event in the City of Ottawa, in Eastern Ontario, and one of only a few arts presenters that solely focuses on supporting and presenting Indigenous artists and Indigenous content in the region. Asinabka Festival was launched in 2012, and celebrates 14 years of operation in 2025. The Festival was founded to support diverse and contemporary work by Indigenous directors, producers and screenwriters working in film, video, audio, music, performance, and digital media.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","meta":{"_relevanssi_hide_post":"","_relevanssi_hide_content":"","_relevanssi_pin_for_all":"","_relevanssi_pin_keywords":"","_relevanssi_unpin_keywords":"","_relevanssi_related_keywords":"","_relevanssi_related_include_ids":"","_relevanssi_related_exclude_ids":"","_relevanssi_related_no_append":"","_relevanssi_related_not_related":"","_relevanssi_related_posts":"","_relevanssi_noindex_reason":"","_mi_skip_tracking":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_active":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_note":"","_exactmetrics_sitenote_category":0,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"daevent-type":[31],"event-audience":[],"event-featured":[],"yoast_head":"\nAsinabka Festival -
