This program supports the predevelopment of television series in the fiction, documentary, youth, and animation genres, in French, adapted from Québec literary works.
This is part of the $500M the Government of Canada is making available through the COVID-19 Emergency Support Fund for Cultural, Heritage and Sport organizations.
The measures apply to Canada Media Fund projects funded before 2020-2021 that have not yet fully closed and to projects seeking funding in the same years. They are divided into two main sections: Operational Flexibility; and Policy Flexibility.
The Government of the country will contribute $88.8M to the CMF and $27M to Telefilm to administer funds that mitigate the impact of the pandemic on Canada’s production sector.
In the middle of COVID-19 pandemic, the Organization supports the national industry and continues to be a reliable partner to its clients and stakeholders.
