Reelworld Screen Institute

Reelworld was founded in 2000 by award-winning actress and producer Tonya Williams to advance opportunities for Indigenous people and Canadians who are Black, Asian, South Asian and People of Colour in the screen industries by providing professional development and advocating for racial equity in Canadian content and production.

Reelworld Screen Institute, a non-profit, presents the acclaimed Reelworld Film Festival, which celebrates stories by Indigenous and racialized Canadians. The festival has expanded to include a two-day Summit to shine a spotlight on issues facing emerging and mid-level industry professionals across Canada.
