The Canada Feature Film Fund Working Groups are made up of an English Market Group and a French Market Group, in keeping with the asymmetrical approach the Fund is taking to these two different markets. Each Working Group provides a forum for the specific views, needs, challenges and objectives of each linguistic market. The Working Groups have a representative membership of various industry groups, unions, guilds and associations, including Telefilm Canada. The Working Group's mandate is to provide guidance and direction to Telefilm Canada on: - The revision and development of the CFFF guidelines, programs and policies;
- To review and advise on the goals and objectives in the annual feature film business plan; and
- To monitor the Fund's overall performance related to the box office objective.
Please note below the names of the respective representatives of the various organizations represented at the Working Group. Please feel free to contact your association should you have questions regarding the continued work of the Canada Feature Film Fund Working Groups.
