Telefilm Canada invites members of the industry to join upcoming information sessions on the Development Program – BPOC and Indigenous Streams, and the Marketing Program. These sessions are designed to help applicants better understand the objectives, eligibility requirements, and evaluation processes for each program. Participants will also have the opportunity to ask questions directly to Telefilm representatives during a Q&A session.

Please note that this session will NOT cover the General Stream as well as the Prequalified Stream, which was discussed during the webinar held earlier in June, following the launch of the reviewed version of the Development Program.
