Project submissions were considered by an Advisory Committee, and Telefilm met with all shortlisted teams.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">More funding decisions, including projects from the Indigenous stream and the Theatrical Documentary Program will be announced in the coming weeks. Statistics on all films funded in the year will be published in the 2025-2026 Annual Report.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">An advisory committee composed of external and internal representatives has evaluated the projects and made its recommendations. The decision-making process is designed to ensure that Telefilm funds a balanced production portfolio reflecting a variety of genres, budgets, company sizes, regions of the country, and perspectives. A list of the selection committee members will be posted on Telefilm\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/telefilm.ca\/we-finance-and-support\/project-financing-advisory-committees\/advisory-committee-members\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Project Financing Advisory Committees page<\/a> once all funding decisions have been made.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h6 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>About Telefilm Canada<\/strong>\u202f\u202f\u202f\u202f&nbsp;<\/h6>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As a Partner of Choice, Telefilm Canada is a Crown corporation dedicated to the success of Canada\u2019s audiovisual industry, fostering access and excellence by delivering programs that support cultural resonance and audience engagement.
