FILM.GL is a private association for everyone working in the film industry in Greenland. The association was founded in 2012 and operates on a voluntary basis. FILM.GL aims at professionalising all branches of Greenland’s film industry. The focus is on creating a network, supporting film professionals, and strengthening political awareness for the necessity of establishing a national film institute, securing funding for national film production, and operating a national film commission.

In 2013, FILM.GL started Innersuaq, the annual national film award in Greenland voted on by the members of FILM.GL. FILM.GL was also involved in developing the Nuuk International Film Festival (NIFF), an annual event since 2017, and in 2018, FILM.GL established a film workshop, Filmiliortarfik. Today, Filmiliortarfik operates independently from FILM.GL. 

Every year since 2017, FILM.GL has been one of the Stand Partners. During this time, several Greenlandic filmmakers have cultivated their craft and expertise through the NATIVe Fellows programme.
