Production Program | Telefilm Canada:

The Production Program (the “Program”) supports Canadian production companies at the production and/or post-production stage of their feature film project(s). The guiding principles of the Program are to invest in:

• feature films that will speak to Canadian and international audiences, and that will bring both cultural impact and
  audience engagement. Telefilm seeks to fund films that will build and contribute to our Canadian cultural legacy.
• filmmakers with a strong sensibility and perspective who will bring original voices and approaches and will advance
  cinematic expression.
• emerging and established filmmakers to support them in advancing their artistic career through ambitious and
  impactful films.
• greater equity and representation in storytelling, that reflects gender parity and diversity from various communities
  including Indigenous, Black, People of Colour, 2SLGBTQIA+ individuals, Gender-diverse identities and
  expressions, as well as People with Disabilities from all regions of the country
• creative teams from Official Language Minority Communities and those situated outside the main production
  centres of Toronto and Montreal.
• Indigenous content that is produced by creators who are Indigenous and/or have engaged in meaningful research,
  collaboration, and cooperation with Indigenous communities impacted by their projects.
• creative teams who are from underrepresented communities and /or who have engaged in meaningful research, collaboration, and cooperation with the communities impacted by their projects.
• content creation that helps advance sustainable production practices and that encourages environmental responsibility.
