Reelworld #HerFrameMatters

The #HerFrameMatters Research Study and Protocol Guideline aim to revolutionize the historical practices of the Canadian screen industries by changing the stereotypical depictions of Black, Indigenous and Women of Colour in Canadian screen content; improving the working conditions of Indigenous and racialized women in our industry; and fostering the creation of more authentic and nuanced women characters on screen.
 

The protocols outlined in the document are culturally appropriate and ethical guidelines in compliance with Narrative Positioning policies as required by the major funding bodies. It’s time to rethink how we tell stories and represent Canadians both to themselves and to the world. Read more here.
