Telefilm Canada invites industry members to participate in Advisory Committees.
Telefilm is inviting qualified industry professionals to lend their expertise and sit as Project Financing Advisory Committee members. Members will contribute to the evaluation of projects within one or more of the Production, Development, Theatrical Documentary and Talent to Watch programs for the 2026–27 fiscal year.
These Advisory Committees are created to ensure a collaborative decision-making process – drawing from each committees’ collective level of expertise and perspectives. Once selected, candidates will be engaged to support Advisory Committees across one or more of Telefilm’s programs throughout the year, in accordance with the program’s respective application periods.
Telefilm is committed to creating Advisory Committees which are balanced in terms of gender and underrepresented voices, regional representation, and which represent a diversity of viewpoints, as well as levels and areas of expertise, whenever possible. The Advisory Committees supporting the Indigenous Stream and the Stream for Black and racialized people (for the Development Program) will be 100% representative of these communities whenever possible.
Telefilm refreshes these memberships annually to help ensure balanced representation, new perspectives, transparency, and continued expertise. As part of its commitment to a transparent decision-making process, Telefilm may publish the names of its Advisory Committee Members once the decisions have been released for all programs supported by advisory committees.
