Partnering for success: Why coproduce with Canada?
International coproductions are a key component of Canadian film and television production. They are a
favoured method of penetrating new markets and facilitating project financing.
Canadians are very active in the international coproduction arena. They promote quality and demonstrate
remarkable energy and understanding of markets, making them sought-after coproduction partners.
On behalf of the Canadian government, Telefilm administers international audiovisual coproductions agreements.
These partnerships enable Canadian producers and their foreign counterparts to pool their creative,
artistic, technical and financial resources to coproduce films and television programs that enjoy the status of
national productions in each of the countries concerned.
At present, Canadian producers may create joint works with their counterparts in more than 50 countries.
