Montreal, January 7, 2016—Telefilm Canada is opening up its Canada Feature Film Fund—Production Program for fiscal 2016-2017 to English- and French-language projects with budgets of less than $2.5 M. Clients will be able to submit funding applications between March 1 and May 2, 2016, inclusively.

We recommend that all clients contact the Regional Feature Film Executive in their region before submitting an application.

Please note that no changes were made to the Production Program this year. However, we would like to remind clients that the following changes were made to the Program’s evaluation criteria in 2015:

  • Telefilm will consider a project’s overall financial viability;
  • A project may not be submitted more than twice, with the number of submissions being counted as of April 30, 2015 (full details in the Program Guidelines);
  • A summary of the marketing/promotional strategy was added to the required documentation.
