The New Brunswick Filmmakers' Co-op is a fully equipped film/video training centre open to anyone who is 16 years of age and up who is interested in developing skills in film/video production. The Co-op provides broad-ranging support (workshops/training, creative support and mentoring, grant writing assistance, equipment, human resources, socials, informal writer/director/actor labs). It also presents diverse quality films and videos through its annual provincial Film Festival. The Co-op also seeks to develop the talents and amplify the voices of NB artists who are looking for the opportunity to express their views in film and video.

As a provincial film charity, the New Brunswick Filmmakers’ Co-op acknowledges that it carries out its work on the traditional unceded territory of the Wolastoqiyik, Mi’kmaq and Peskotomuhkati peoples. This territory is covered by the “Treaties of Peace and Friendship” which these nations first signed with the British Crown in 1726. The treaties did not deal with the surrender of lands and resources, but in fact recognized Mi’kmaq and Wolastoqiyik title and established the rules for what was to be an ongoing relationship between nations.

We, the staff, members of the board, and members of the organization pay respect to the elders, past and present, and descendants of this land. We honour the knowledge keepers and seek their guidance as we strive to develop closer relationships with the Indigenous people in New Brunswick.
