ReFrame Film Festival stands in solidarity with Indigenous peoples across all colonized lands, from Nogojiwanong to Palestine, and advocates for their full liberation. ReFrame is firmly committed to anti-racism and anti-oppression, and stands in solidarity with BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, People of Colour) communities demanding truth, justice, equality, and an end to police violence. We unequivocally oppose discrimination in all its forms, including the silencing of critical voices protesting against ongoing genocide and violence around the globe.

We understand that it is incumbent upon us and those with privilege to take a stance in actively addressing these systemic issues within our own organization, the artistic community, in Nogojiwanong/Peterborough, and throughout Canada.  We hope the stories shared through our films inspire you to embrace a shared responsibility for action—however small—to stand with Indigenous communities actively fighting for freedom and sovereignty. Let these films serve as the starting point, not the conclusion, of your engagement with these vital issues.
