Advisory Committee Members
The Advisory Committees support the decision-making processes for many of Telefilm’s programs. They are comprised of external and internal experts who evaluate the projects submitted to the programs, and make recommendations to Telefilm.
Telefilm is committed to fostering and supporting a diversity of voices in the industry. The external Advisory Committee representatives are chosen to reflect regional and cultural diversity, and gender parity.
