Telefilm Canada supports eight feature-length documentaries in the French market
Telefilm Canada is announcing its commitment to eight feature-length documentaries that will receive funding under the Theatrical Documentary Program – French-Language Market, for a total of $1.65 million.
An advisory committee of external and internal representatives assessed the projects and made recommendations to Telefilm. The decision-making process considered Telefilm’s goal of fostering a diversity of voices in the industry, ensuring that Telefilm funds a balanced portfolio of productions that reflect a variety of genres, budgets and company sizes and points of view.
Under this program, Telefilm continues to support Canadian production companies looking to finance feature-length documentary projects in both production and post-production.
