All activities planned as part of the festival, including complementary activities such as film markets, should be included within the festival’s overall application. Details on these complementary activities, including film markets, should be included within the application to highlight the programming and initiatives of the festival and the resulting impact for the overall evaluation of the application. The associated revenues and costs to the complementary activities, including film markets, should also be included in the overall budget for the festival. Complementary activities are defined as promotional actions, or professional business or skill development activities (e.g., forums, workshops, conferences, professional networking and meetings, etc.) that take place only during the dates of the festival on a regular annual basis, even if these complementary activities are branded differently from the festival
or slightly change from one edition to the other. The main purpose of a film market is to stimulate the sale of Canadian works and facilitate pre-financing of productions and partnerships for potential coproduction projects, through a structured agenda that includes a selection process for participants.
