Telefilm doc funding program restored to $1.5M

Telefilm has struck a deal that will see its program to fund Canadian feature documentaries restored to $1.5 million.

The program, which had helped produce Canadian long-form documentaries for movie cinemas, was reduced to $500,000 earlier this year after the federal government chopped Telefilm’s budget by $10.6 million over three years.

Now the federal film funding agency has teamed up with the National Film Board of Canada and the Rogers Group of Funds to continue the program, with a budget of $1.5 million. Each of the partners will donate $500,000 to the fund.
