    • Abstract:
      The article informs about the financial policies of film producing company Telefilm Canada. Wayne Clarkson, executive director of the company has said that he favors not renewing a controversial pilot project between the Canadian government and CAA that was aimed at helping to attract talent and obtain financing for Canadian movies. Clarkson is responsible for investing about 100 million Canadian dollar annually in Canadian film on behalf of the federal government. He further added that he preferred a made-in-Canada solution to building boxoffice for Canadian English-language filmmakers.
