Designed to foster Canadian co-production and international sales, this unique series of meetings provides the opportunity to discuss current projects with international producers, distributors and commissioning editors.
Canadian producers are strongly urged to attend the Forum’s international sessions prior to their meetings in order to best utilise time spent with international guests.
