Isuma TV

Isuma TV is an Internet portal for indigenous filmmakers that creates new artistic and cultural communities by bringing virtually filmmakers together and making their work available worldwide. Attentive to the intellectual property rights of filmmakers, the free service allows films to be viewed, but not downloaded. DVDs are available for sale upon request. Created by Igloolik Isuma Productions, the makers of Atanarjuat, the Fast Runner and The Journals of Knud Rasmussen, this site depends on the contributions of indigenous filmmakers to generate the site’s content. It is committed to broadcasting indigenous language media, and sees indigenous audiences in remote communities as their core audience.
