THE FUTURE OF CANADIAN STORYTELLING STARTS HERE

The CFC has always been a place for imagination, where creativity, knowledge, and opportunity thrive. As a charitable cultural organization founded by award-winning, internationally-acclaimed filmmaker Norman Jewison more than three decades ago, the CFC was established as a centre for advanced film studies, where storytellers could learn to master the medium of filmmaking and ultimately command a place on screens around the world.

Today, the CFC is home to a range of intensive, hands-on programs in film, television, and digital/immersive media. We are a launchpad for the next generation of Canadian storytellers; we empower Canadian creators and entrepreneurs and advance opportunities for them to work and build successful careers in the ever-evolving screen-based industries.

“The Producers’ Lab was a tremendous help on my journey. It challenged me to reflect on the stories I want to champion, the people I want to work with, and it sharpened my abilities. The CFC helped me uncover the confidence to grow and learn to ask for help, which I am truly grateful for.
