Telefilm Canada
Telefilm Canada is a Crown corporation reporting to Parliament through the Department of Canadian Heritage. Headquartered in Montréal, Telefilm provides services to the Canadian audiovisual industry by means of four regional offices located in Vancouver, Toronto, Montréal and Halifax.
Our mandate: Telefilm Canada is a federal cultural agency dedicated to the development and promotion of the Canadian audiovisual industry.
The Corporation acts as one of the Canadian government's principal instruments for providing strategic leverage to the private sector, supplying the film, television and new media industries with financial and strategic support. Telefilm's role is to foster the production of films, television programs and cultural products that reflect Canadian society, with its linguistic duality and cultural diversity, and to encourage their dissemination at home and abroad.
Our vision: By funding high-quality productions and strengthening its industry support to facilitate the transition to the new multiplatform environment, Telefilm Canada is aiming for the long-term viability and development of Canada's audiovisual industry. Telefilm believes that the main measure of its success lies in the Canadian public's appetite for the works and products it funds. A second measure concerns the capacity to have a vigorous, dynamic industry able to successfully develop, produce, and market the funded works.
