The Canada Media Fund has revealed the funding decisions for two of its selective programs, the Indigenous Program and English-language Point-of-View (POV) Program, investing $14.6 million in 33 productions across the two.

A total of 17 projects will receive $8.9 million in funding via the Indigenous Program, including 14 documentary productions, two children’s and youth series and one drama. The projects will be produced in several languages, including Anishinaabemowin, Cree, Haida, Hul’qumi’num, Innu, Inuktitut, Michif, Mohawk, Nisga’a, Ojibwe, Squamish, English and French.

The Indigenous Program supports the growth of Indigenous production as part of the CMF’s recognition of the unique circumstances faced by the Indigenous production community. The recipients of the program are determined by a jury, which includes APTN reporter Danielle Rochette, imagineNATIVE’s Jamie-Lee Reardon, actor Jerry Wolf, festival programmer Jess Murwin, Oswald Michelin, and filmmaker Rachel Alouki-Labbe.

Selected documentary projects include season two of Treaty Road (Treaty Road Productions; pictured), season two of Coastal Carvings (Rogue River Films), season three of Amplify (Wolfwalker Productions), new series Red River Gold (3 Story Development) and season two of Ocean Warriors: Mission Ready (Kwassen Productions). All five programs received $550,000 in production financing. Meanwhile, the drama Blood Lines (Devonshire Productions) was awarded $750,000 in funding.

In the Point-of-View (POV) Program, which aims to encourage one-off, point-of-view documentary production, 16 projects in English will receive a total of $5.7 million in funding.

The biodoc Anti Diva: The Carole Pope Confessions, produced by Gay Agenda, is among the projects to receive funding under the POV Program, earning $400,000.

Other notable projects to receive financing include Saints and Warriors (Ball is Life Entertainment), Tough Old Broads from Montreal’s H2L Productions, Turtle Island Rap (Scenario Productions) and The Theft from Toronto-based Storyline Entertainment all receiving $400,000. Other funding recipients include the wrestling doc Singhs in the Ring (Singhs Doc Inc., $290,141) and the nature documentary Seeing Green from Toronto’s HitPlay Productions ($389,546).

Funding decisions for the French-language part of the program will be announced later, according to CMF.
