‘Decolonizing Lens’: Winnipeg and virtual film series reflects the beauty of Indigenous worldviews

'Slash/Back,' directed by Nyla Innuksuk, follows a group of Inuit girls who fight off an alien invasion, all while trying to make it to the coolest party in town. (Mixtape SB Productions Inc.)

Decolonizing Lens is a film and discussion series based in Winnipeg that brings together Indigenous filmmakers, their films and audiences as a form of public education.

We began the series in 2016 after the publication of the Final Report of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) of Canada and a gathering of Indigenous and non-Indigenous students facilitated by a youth-driven movement, the 4Rs. The 4Rs engages young people in cross-cultural dialogue toward reconciliation. We helped co-ordinate the gathering at the National Centre for Truth and Reconciliation (NCTR) at the University of Manitoba.
