The CMF is part of Canada’s strong funding ecosystem that fosters audiovisual content creation and encourages international coproduction.
Together, Canada’s coproduction treaties and the CMF’s financing provide opportunities for Canadian producers and their international counterparts to share resources and talent to tap into new markets. As consumers have growing access to content from all corners of the world, producers can benefit greatly from working together on the international front.
