In the news today:

Inuit filmmaker Zach Kunuk and his co-producer Norman Cohn grabbed worldwide attention for their film “Atanarjuat” when it won a medal at the 2001 Cannes Film Festival, but neither expected the accolades and attention to trickle down to others telling aboriginal stories.
That’s why the two have started a new service allowing such filmmakers from around the world to share and show their work on a website that could become the YouTube of aboriginal cinema.
“(We) are an example of how you can actually succeed and find an audience in this world, but we’re the only ones who have been able to do that,” said Cohn.

The duo’s new website, called Isuma.tv, has already gathered 100 films and videos from four countries in the four weeks since it began.
