The first three films created under the IFC initiative were The Ballad of Crowfoot(1968), These Are My People… (1969) and You Are on Indian Land (1969), which can be viewed on the NFB’s website. The IFC consisted of seven young Indigenous members who were trained in the art of filmmaking for five months, with the goal of creating Indigenous-centric work. One important aspect of the NFB is its role in Indigenous-led filmmaking, a precedent that was set with the formation of the Indian Film Crew (IFC) in 1968.

Some spent March, April, and May rewatching prestige shows like The Sopranos and Sex and the City. For many of us, that means continuing to watch a lot of film and television. The sun may be shining now that it’s June, but best practices still include emphasis on physical distancing. But that doesn’t mean the pandemic is over. (Check out a behind-the-scenes look at how we recorded a podcast during the pandemic.)Īround the country, economies are beginning to open up. Those of us at the Ryerson Review of Journalism produced the print version of our magazine remotely, with the members of our masthead toiling away from our bedrooms, kitchens, home offices and, as was the case with our final podcast episode, our closets. From mid-March until the end of the semester, Ryerson University students attended classes and meetings virtually, and completed their assignments from home.
