Since its inception, thousands of Wapikoni participants from 36 nations have participated in the production of more than 1300 short films translated into several languages and have received numerous awards and mentions at national and international festivals. Wapikoni is a non-profit and charitable organization supported by many public and private partners. Since 2017, Wapikoni is also an official UNESCO partner.
