Canada New Media Fund
Accepted projects for fiscal 2001-2002
Telefilm Canada backs 119 projects

Montréal, April 22, 2002 - Telefilm Canada is pleased to announce that it has agreed to support 119 of the 253 applications which were submitted by the January 7th deadline for fiscal 2001-2002.

It should be noted that the Canada New Media Fund is now endowed with an annual budget of $9 million; Telefilm Canada previously administered a budgetary envelope for new-media projects of $6 million.

Of the accepted projects, 45 are for pre-development/development, 32 for production, 32 for marketing and 10 for sectoral development. The projects accepted for development, production and marketing originate in all regions of the country and cover a wide range of both media and content: CD-ROMs, DVD-ROMs, Web sites. Many of these projects are tie-ins with television shows, multimedia installations, wireless products and interactive games. Sectoral development assistance is focused on festivals, awards and conferences.

Telefilm Canada would also like to announce that the next application deadlines for fiscal 2002-2003 are April 29, 2002 and September 3, 2002. Applications for sectoral development assistance may be submitted at any time. The guidelines for 2002-2003, which are unchanged from the last fiscal year, are available on Telefilm's Web site (www.telefilm.ca/en/fin/multi/multi.htm).
