The Versioning Assistance Program

The Versioning Assistance Fund was created by Telefilm Canada in 1986. Subsequently, in October 2000, the Minister of Canadian Heritage announced a new Canada Feature Film Fund (CFFF) that included a dedicated program to support the versioning of Canadian feature films for theatrical and television release.

The spirit and intent of the Versioning Assistance Program is to increase the availability of and therefore audiences for Canadian feature films financed through the CFFF intended for theatrical release in English, French and Aboriginal languages.

Application Dates

There is no application deadline. Complete applications are assessed as they are received. However, applications seeking financing assistance within the current fiscal year (April 1 – March 31) must submit a complete application prior to December 15.

This Closing Date has been established to allow sufficient time to review, contract and provide cash-flow to productions prior to Telefilm’s fiscal year-end (March 31st). Applications received after the Closing Date will continue to be assessed for assistance in the next fiscal provided that the Fund is renewed.
