“Cannes is also vital in terms of deal making,” said Telefilm Canada executive director Carolle Brabant. “The Marché du Film is a hub where industry professionals debut and discover over 5,000 films.
“These 16 Perspective Canada titles demonstrate the scope of our industry in terms of connecting with audiences. We’re also pleased to note that we received more than 300 applications for Not Short On Talent – double the amount from last year.”
