Arviat - Video production Culture & Knowledge

Description

Video is one of the most important modern media and a key tool to knowledge mobilization and preservation. Even in the most remote community, video production is being taught to indigenous youth as a vehicle to communication, story telling, and youth empowerment. The Arviat Film Society (facebook.com/ArviatFilmSociety) is very active in supporting local youth to develop personal and technical skills for media and film industry training, Arts Education, and Research. We support the AFS with advanced training opportunities for video documentation of Oral history and Inuit knowledge, for the benefit of future generations.
