We stand with Indigenous filmmakers, storytellers and island communities worldwide - from the Arctic to the Pacific, from the North Atlantic to the Caribbean.
Our statement of Indigenous Filmmaker support
"As you consider digging deeper, joining us on Langeland and watching a film with us please consider that the films and media we share and support often are created, produced or shaped by the peoples, lands and waters of many indigenous communities worldwide, or come from lands or traditional territories of indigenous communities or first nations peoples.
The Langeland International Island Film Festival respectfully acknowledges we may meet or view programmes from these traditional lands of many indigenous communities, and we thank these nations for the care and stewardship over these shared lands. We honour the lands of indigenous communities who have lived, travelled and gathered for thousands of years before us. It is their footsteps that have marked the land before us. In the work we do today, in the films we screen and celebrate, we will all do our best to act in the spirit of reconciliation and learning to work together to provide better care for these communities."
