DOC Toronto Event

Info Session & Reception at the New Bloor Hot Docs Cinema. Registration will open soon!

See past the hype and learn the reality of alternative financing in Canada

Alternative financing appears to be a panacea to the documentary community’s financing woes, but is it real or just a wonderland?  Does it work in a Canadian context? At this conference, participants will hear Canadian filmmakers talk of their forrays into alternative financing. Broadcasters and tax credit experts will weigh in on its impact to traditional financing. And members from the charitable sector will discuss the possibility of “fiscal sponsorship” and foundation funding in Canada. 

Event participants will:

• Gain a better understanding of the alternative financing options available in Canada
• Gain insight and knowledge in order to assess whether alternative financing is the right fit for their next documentary project
• Learn about the hidden costs and logistical requirements of alternative financing models
• Discover how alternative financing impacts the traditional film and television financing environment

Are these new financing models just a fad or are they about to transform documentary production in Canada? Come and find out!

Limited registration, so act fast!
