Granting Institutions

Film and new media arts comprise a significant portion of Alberta's cultural heritage. Through the production of film and the development of new media arts, many artists have been given the chance to express themselves from a distinctly Albertan point of view. In order to produce and subsidize those involved in films, television shows, web pages, animation and graphic art, funding is required. Thankfully, many granting institutions are dedicated to offering financial support for films and new media artistic endeavours.

The Development Information Program provides funding for projects aimed at furthering Canadian international development. The main component of the program, 'the mass media initiative', helps to fund prime-time television and radio programs. Telefilm is a federal agency that provides funding for the development and promotion of the Canadian film, television, new media and music industries. Support from Telefilm sustains the production of high quality work that reflects Canadian lifestyles.

Other granting bodies include the Alberta Film Development Program, which provides funding to cover film expenditures made within the province and A-Channel, also committed to the Alberta film and television industry, offers the Television Broadcast Fund for producers of television, films and mini-series to apply for grants.
