History of Vox Popular Media Arts Festival
Celebrating its 14th anniversary from September 13-16, 2018, the Festival helps professional independent artists show their work to audiences of all ages, interests and abilities can enrich their experience of media arts. The 13th anniversary marked the first year at the new location in Trinity Hall on Park Avenue .
In the past thirteen years, Vox Popular Media Arts Festival has screened over 450 films, hosted over 120 visiting filmmakers from Northwestern Ontario, Canada and around the world, held dozens of discussions and highly successful Master Classes. Our audiences are of all ages and interests including the Finnish, First Nations, Francophone and other specific communities in our region.
We pay screening fees to artists and distributors*, according to current CARFAC (Canadian Artist Representation/Le Front des Artistes Canadiens) rates. We provide several travel grants to help subsidize the expenses of filmmakers from around the world* traveling to Thunder Bay to present their film, participate in Q&A sessions after screenings, participate in panel discussions and most importantly, to interact and share film and film-making experiences with Northwestern Ontario communities.
We’re supported by the Canada Council for the Arts, Heritage Canada, The Ontario Trillium Foundation, the City of Thunder Bay and many dedicated local sponsors from the downtown core and across the city.
