The Council of Canadian Filmmakers is an umbrella organization which represents, through its individual and organization members, 10,000 film directors, writers, actors, technicians, and production personnel in the English Canadian film industry.
CCFM was formed in March, 1973 in response to the growing problems of the film industry. Speaking on behalf of its members, CCFM has presented numerous briefs and interventions to all three levels of government in Canada, and has spoken out in public and private forums on the need to improve the situation of the English Canadian film industry.
In the past year, CCFM has continued to press for legislated quota and levy systems to ensure that Canadian films have reasonable access to Canadian theatres, and to ensure that a reasonable percentage of Canadian box office earnings are retumed to Canadian production. The Council has also undertaken extensive research in the area of Pay-TV.
The objective of the Council of Canadian Filmmakers is to promote the development of an indigenous English Canadian film industry by: (1) informing government and the public of the situation in the film industry in English Canada; (2) presenting a unified industry voice in negotiations with government, in public forums and in the press; (3) lobbying for the conditions which will make an indigenous film industry viable in Canada.
