Film and Video

Alberta is home to a diverse film and video community that includes emerging artists and established production companies. Alberta supports film and video production through a variety of grant programs. Individual artists and non-incorporated groups can apply for the film and video arts project grant stream through the Alberta Foundation for the Arts (AFA). Interested artists should contact Jonathan Meakin, Arts Development Consultant at (780) 415-1318 or jonathan.meakin@gov.ab.ca.

Emerging film production companies which are incorporated may qualify for the AFA Cultural Industries Project Grant. Interested parties should contact Paul Pearson, Director of Arts Services, at (780) 422-3827 or paul.pearson@gov.ab.ca.

Production companies with distribution agreements in place for their product may qualify for funding from the Alberta Multimedia Development Fund. Parties interested in finding out more about the Alberta Film Development Program or the filming locations, expertise and advantages available in Alberta should contact Connie Armstrong, Film and TV Information Officer at (780) 422-8584 or through the Alberta Film Commission.
