A Review of Canadian Feature Film Policy February 1998

Studies & Reports 16 of 20

"Canadian film policy has been driven by the belief that culture is important to us as individuals and as a nation. The Government of Canada has developed this discussion paper to initiate a national debate that will assist in the review process. Outlining the public policy context and identifying some of the current issues related to the Canadian film industry and feature films, this paper poses a number of questions and invites comments and submissions from all interested Canadians. The paper is meant to serve as a starting point for discussions – it does not seek to restrict our avenues of examination and review. Given the incompleteness of available data, the paper cannot be considered an exhaustive survey of the industry."
