Artists who have attended the festival in recent years shared their thoughts on the importance of imagineNATIVE to their own careers:

“imagineNATIVE has almost singlehandedly created a worldwide Indigenous film community, and done a wonderful job of bringing filmmakers together with various funders/distributors/festivals in Canada and internationally. The excellent team at iN welcomes new filmmakers into the fold, and brings us together to celebrate our work and connect and collaborate creatively. Having been to many film festivals of all calibers, Native and Non-native, in Canada and abroad, I can't say enough about the excellence of what this premiere Aboriginal film festival is doing. It is, hands down, my favorite festival.”

– Lisa Jackson, Filmmaker

“imagineNATIVE has been and is so fundamental to my development as a filmmaker, from validating my very first works, to gently demanding new works. Sechanelyagh imagineNATIVE!”

- Helen Haig-Brown, Filmmaker

"imagineNATIVE is one my favorite festivals because it truly fosters community and artistic growth. They always attract dynamic, big audiences and as a filmmaker that live experience with movie-goers is always so fulfilling. There are also so many activities scheduled outside of the theaters that allow us to learn from each other. I always head home feeling inspired and so proud of the work of fellow First Nations filmmakers."

-Tracey Deer, Filmmaker/Producer
