The I+N StoryLab/histoires queer contemporaines is looking for a roster of diverse, driven and – above all – creative applicants who are interested in working to get their stories written so they can be seen!
The I+N StoryLab/histoires queer contemporaines, produced by image+nation culture queer in collaboration with Telefilm Canada and SODEC, is looking to bring queer content creators together with queer filmmaking mentors from across the country for a storytelling think tank and short film scriptwriting initiative. The application process is open until 11:59 pm on September 10, 2024, with the storytelling think tank and short film scriptwriting initiative beginning in September and continuing with weekly mentorship sessions throughout the fall.
Through workshops and mentorship, the will focus on developing useful tools and strategies to foster authenticity, outreach, production, collaboration and connection through storytelling. The I+N StoryLab/histoires queer contemporaines will provide participants with concrete means to create new Canadian queer stories that speak of contemporary queer perspectives and experiences.
Emphasizing inclusivity, this exciting initiative seeks participants who represent our country’s diverse regional voices – fostering content creation from distinct Canadian perspectives and positionings while emphasizing voices from francoqueers and under-represented queers from Indigenous, two-spirit, indigiqueer, BPOC (Black and People of Colour) and other racialized communities.
