Reelworld Screen Institute Research

Reelworld Screen Institute has launched an industry-wide research project addressing stereotypical depictions of Black, Indigenous, Asian and Women of Colour in Canadian film and TV. The project will produce a research-backed Protocol Guideline that will support creatives, producers and executives on how to better create authentic portrayals of these women.

Changing the Narrative

Reelworld is committed to using research, measurement and industry engagement to create mechanisms that hold systems accountable for greater equity. Our past research works Racialized Sexual Harassment:The Intersections of Race and Gender (2019) and the Changing the Narrative Report (2020) have been instrumental to the industry at large in increasing the access and representation of Black, Indigenous, Asian and People of Colour in the Canadian screen industries.

#HerFrameMatters Research & Protocol Guideline

This project has been supported by Women and Gender Equality Canada.

Community Film Screening

June 5-8 l 7PM

Community Film Screening

Join us June 5-8 for a night of community as we explore the changing neighbourhoods around us. Through the power of film we will spark conversations about how we can support each other during these uncertain times.

We will screen the short film On the Fence and the feature-length film Unarmed Verses, followed by an informal discussion about important topics such as housing, home ownership and community. Our moderator Sapphire Woods will lead the discussion, which will also feature a special guest from your community!

Take advantage of this FREE event, connect with your neighbours, and learn from each other. We hope to see you there. Refreshments will be provided.
