    Annual Report Spotlight on WOMEN WHO ARE SHAPING CANADIAN TELEVISION & FILM SHINING A SPOTLIGHT MORE & MORE WOMEN ARE SHAPING THE TELEVISION & FILM WE WATCH TODAY Each year in our Annual Report, we have an opportunity to showcase the work of Canada’s television and film producers. And each year reaffirms just how much creative talent exists in this country. In 2018, the Rogers Group of Funds supported that talent by committing $18.5 million to 116 productions from a diverse group of Canadian producers. A significant number of them are women — women who are creating globally recognized hit series, powerful documentaries, award- winning features and other great content. Whether they’re taking their place in the director’s chair, the visual effects studio or the boardroom table, more and more women are shaping the television and film we watch today. To celebrate their achievements, we’ve chosen to highlight a few of the many Canadian women from coast to coast who are making an impact in our sector today. As you’ll see in the pages that follow, they’re striking international deals, pioneering interactive digital content and finding bold new ways to tell stories. Some of them have been wowing audiences for decades. Others are earlier in their career. But each one of them is making Canadian film and television richer by bringing their voice, experience and perspective to our screens — and shaping Canadian culture as a result. Brava! Robin C. Mirsky, Executive Director, Rogers Group of Funds & Philip B. Lind, Vice Chairman, Rogers Communications Rogers Group of Funds 1 CAPTURING THE ZEITGEIST INA FICHMAN I am always looking for stories that touch the hearts and minds of viewers; stories that are in the zeitgeist.” “ Ina Fichman’s 25-year career boasts a slew of award-winning documentaries, films and interactive digital projects.

  • CBC's Trickster Shows How Indigenous Storytelling Has Developed
    OPINION CBC’s Trickster shows how Indigenous storytelling has developed DREW HAYDEN TAYLOR SPECIAL TO THE GLOBE AND MAIL PUBLISHED 1 DAY AGOUPDATED DECEMBER 16, 2020 Based on Eden Robinson’s bestselling novel, Trickster follows an Indigenous teen struggling to support his dysfunctional family as myth, magic, and monsters slowly infiltrate his life. CBC The recent TV adaptation of Eden Robinson’s clever novel Son of a Trickster was amazing for two reasons. First, it demonstrated how far contemporary Indigenous storytelling has come from its days hanging around the campfire and kitchen table. Secondly, the fact that it mixed the real with the surreal was a great watershed moment. Stories like that take chances. It goes down avenues that a few decades ago would have seemed unlikely. It embraces the fantastic. Co-written and directed by Michelle Latimer, the show (Trickster, on CBC) explores the difficult life of a teenager who discovers his father is Wee’git, the Heiltsuk trickster. And that comes with a lot of personal and supernatural problems. Who knew? Much like Robinson, authors such as Cherie Dimaline are exploring what could have been, not necessarily what was or is. Dimaline’s novel, The Marrow Thieves, is a dystopian novel where the dominant culture has lost the ability to dream, and now seek Indigenous bone marrow to alleviate the problem. Another author, Waubgeshig Rice, wrote the highly popular The Moon of the Crusted Snow, which takes place in an alternate version of now, after the electrical grid goes down, leaving the inhabitants of a fly-in reserve desperate to find a way to survive.
