Indigen8 is a groundbreaking screen project that discovers, funds, and releases eight original feature films across Oceania, with a powerful focus on celebrating Indigenous storytelling and underrepresented voices, particularly from Pacific Island communities.

Why Indigen8?

For many Indigenous and local filmmakers in the Pacific and across the broader Oceanic region, opportunities to tell their stories at scale, and on their own terms, are rare.

 

Indigen8 exists to change that.

 

This initiative recognises the cultural richness, narrative power, and urgency of Indigenous stories, particularly in a region already facing the frontline impacts of climate change, colonisation, and cultural erosion.

 

By supporting these voices, Indigen8 becomes not just a film project, but a cultural movement that restores visibility, fosters pride, and inspires connection across oceans and generations.
