- Canadian policy publications from the documentary policy advisory group

In April 2004, the NFB and Telefilm organized a Documentary Policy Summit to discuss issues regarding the financing and policy framework for Canadian documentary production and distribution. The discussion was informed by Getting Real, Volume 2 of a study commissioned for the Documentary Organization of Canada. In June 2004, the NFB, Telefilm and the Canadian Television Fund (CTF) convened a meeting in Banff, inviting representatives of producer organizations (APFTQ, CFTPA, DOC, Observatoire du documentaire), broadcasters (the CBC and the CAB - represented by Astral), as well as other organizations involved in documentaries such as the Canada Council for the Arts, Association of Provincial Funders, CRTC, CIFVI, Canadian Heritage and SODEC. These organizations make up the Documentary Policy Advisory Group who agreed to fund and oversee the following research papers. These papers will lay the groundwork for the development of a documentary policy action plan aimed at bringing about a harmonization of Canadian programs and policies, to be established in 2005-2006.
