In total, <strong>$45.5 million <\/strong>was invested in films with at least one woman in a key role during the fiscal year, which represents <strong>59% <\/strong>of all Telefilm\u2019s production funding. The goal made with the support of the industry, is to achieve a balanced production portfolio (at all budget levels) that reflects parity in each of the key creative roles by 2020.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/telefilm.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/percentage.png\" alt=\"Chart - Percentage of nu,ber and investment for films with a woman in a key role for 2017-2018 &amp; 2018-2019\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The greatest improvement seen was in the role of the producer, where parity (or parity zone) was reached in all areas, with <strong>61%<\/strong> of all projects signed* having a female lead producer (up from 48% last year). Project volume ranged from 83% in documentaries, 68% in Talent to Watch, 53% in $2.5m+ features, and 46% in $2.5m- features. For lead producer, parity (or parity zone) was also reached in all areas for distribution of funding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/telefilm.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/percentagechartsweb-1235x378.jpg\" alt=\"Charts - Percentage of dollars invested with a woman in a key role production 2018-2019 \/ Percentage of the number of films with a woman in a keyrole 2018-2019\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe are making progress towards reaching a balanced, sustainable representation of women working in key roles behind the camera,\u201d said Christa Dickenson, Executive Director at Telefilm Canada. \u201cIn doing so, we are investing more money into female talent, and making sure that their stories are being told. We know we still have work to do to in order to meet our 2020 goal\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The $2.5m+ features category saw an increase in funding across all key roles.&nbsp; Projects with a woman working as the lead producer received $23.8 million, which represents 42% of the funding for this budget category. This is an increase of 11 percentage points compared with the 31% share of 2017\/2018. In the same budget category, $12.9 million went to projects with a female director (an increase of 5 percentage points, up from 18% to 23% of the funding), and $19.2 million to female-scripted titles (up 13 percentage points, from 21% to 34% of funding).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cTelefilm has increased its investment in higher budget films with women at the helm, and would like to give even more female directors an opportunity to direct a bigger budget feature.&nbsp; A collaborative approach is necessary so that talent may receive the support it needs,\u201d Dickenson said. \u201cWe\u2019re already giving them a calling card by investing in their first and second features at a lower budget level. We also need our distribution partners, producers and broadcasters to join us by supporting more women in the director\u2019s chair for higher budget projects. It is clear that global audiences have an appetite for greater representation in storytelling, and we want to give them as much opportunity as possible, however we cannot do it alone.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To further promote the range of female talent that exists within Canada, Telefilm invests in an array of initiatives to make women and their projects more visible in the Canadian and international marketplaces. Telefilm has invested in 19 industry partnerships geared towards female filmmakers, including panels and workshops with organizations such as Women in View, Women in the Director\u2019s Chair (WIDC), St. John\u2019s International Women\u2019s Film Festival, and Femmes du cinema, de la television et des medias num\u00e9riques (FCTMN). Telefilm also hosts an annual gala event, the Birks Diamond Tribute to the Year\u2019s Women in Film, spotlighting the achievements of women making strides in the audiovisual industry. The event, taking place this year in a new format on September 4<sup>th<\/sup>, awards the talent with a cash prize while also giving them the opportunity to gain media attention and exposure for their body of work and upcoming projects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Recent female-fronted projects receiving support from Telefilm include Genevi\u00e8ve Dulude-De Celles\u2019 <em>Une colonie<\/em> (winner of two Canadian Screen Awards, including Best Picture), Miranda de Pencier\u2019s <em>The Grizzlies <\/em>(which was released in April and continues a strong theatrical run), Monia Chokri\u2019s <em>La femme de mon fr\u00e8re<\/em> (which premiered at this year\u2019s Cannes Film Festival, won the jury\u2019s Coup de Coeur award in the Un Certain Regard section and is currently in release in both France and Qu\u00e9bec), and Jasmin Mozaffari\u2019s <em>Firecrackers <\/em>(which has screened at over 23 festivals worldwide, and opened in the United States on July 12). Upcoming titles include Anne \u00c9mond\u2019s <em>Jeune Juliette<\/em> (opening August 9 in Qu\u00e9bec), Jen &amp; Sylvia Soska\u2019s re-interpretation of the horror classic <em>Rabid <\/em>(premiering at UK\u2019s Frightfest), Jovanka Vuckovic\u2019s <em>Riot Girls <\/em>(opening in theatres and on VOD platforms September 13), Loretta Todd\u2019s <em>Monkey Beach <\/em>(a powerful adaptation of Eden Robinson\u2019s celebrated novel), Aisling Chin-Yee\u2019s <em>The Rest of Us <\/em>(starring Heather Graham and Sophie N\u00e9lisse), Marie Clements\u2019 feature directorial debut <em>Red Snow<\/em>, Louise Archambault\u2019s <em>Il pleuvait des oiseaux <\/em>(which hits screens on September 13), and Semi Chellas\u2019 <em>American Woman<\/em> (which is receiving a Gala premiere at the 2019 Toronto International Film Festival).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Telefilm continues its commitment to create a more inclusive and representative entertainment landscape. New updates to definitions for diversity and inclusion on Telefilm applications will be released later this year, allowing for greater understanding of the scope of voices applying. &nbsp;Announced in 2016, Telefilm will, for projects of equal quality, prioritize projects whose key creatives (director and\/or writer and\/or producer) reflect the diversity of the country in terms of gender, Indigenous communities or cultural diversity. Telefilm aims by 2020 to achieve a balanced production portfolio (at all budget levels) that reflects gender parity in each of the key roles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>*Signed refers to projects funded in that specific time period<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>About Telefilm Canada<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Telefilm is dedicated to the cultural, commercial and industrial success of Canada\u2019s audiovisual industry.
