The Canadian Feature Film Distribution Sector in Review: Trends, Policies and Market Developments

The Canadian Feature Film Distribution Sector in Review: Trends, Policies and Market Developments was undertaken by the Canadian Association of Film Distributors and Exporters (CAFDE) to examine the role of Canadian distributors in the feature film sector, to analyze the opportunities and challenges facing the distribution of Canadian films in the digital age, and to create a portrait of Canadian audiences reached by Canadian films on various platforms. The study also investigates emerging trends in film distribution and the related policy responses in the United States and Europe, and suggests a number of methods to encourage industry collaboration and government policy renewal.
