September 30 is the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation in Canada. On this day and everyday, Canadians and Canadian organizations like the OIAF reflect on the tragic history and enduring legacy of the residential school system, a colonial tool of oppression and genocide targeting Indigenous communities and cultures.


Today, we give space to Indigenous filmmakers and industry leaders to speak about what truth and reconciliation can look like in our industry, the Canadian animation community, and beyond.


We urge all Canadians to read and reflect on the Truth and Reconciliation Commission's Calls to Action.


Speakers: Terril Calder (Filmmaker), Erica Daniels (Filmmaker and Program Advisor, National Screen Institute), Glenn Gear (Artist and Filmmaker), Jesse Wente (Executive Director, Indigenous Screen Office)


Moderated by Melanie Nepinak Hadley (Program Director, WarnerMedia Access Canada)
