The Asinabka Film and Media Arts Festival is an annual film festival in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada, which programs a lineup of films related to First Nations, Métis, Inuit and other international indigenous peoples.[1] Named for the traditional Algonquin language name of Victoria Island in the city's Chaudière Falls,[2] the event was launched in 2012 by Howard Adler[3] and Christopher Wong after they attended a Bollywood film event at Library and Archives Canada and began to wonder why the city had no similar events devoted to indigenous film.[4]

Staged at the Ottawa Art Gallery, the event also includes art exhibitions, musical performances and panel discussions as well as films.[5]
