Assoctation des Réalisateurs de Film du Québec (ARFQ).
The DGC, founded in 1961, is a professional association, federally chartered to represent the interests of freelance film and television directors with regard to their professional status. The Guild has offices in Toronto and Vancouver, and elected representatives in Montreal, Ottawa,
Calgary, and some other cities. Basic working conditions and tariff schedules have been formulated.
In 1963, francophone film makers in Quebec founded the Association Professionelle des Cinéastes du Québee (APCQ).(22) In the course of time, the interests of film directors diverged from those of the film makers and, in 1973, the former founded the ARFQ, with a membership of film directors exclusively, to protect their professional status. The ARFQ does not regard itself as a 'union' but performs as if it were one. A code of fees and working conditions is in preparation, and will be submitted to members for
their consideration in the near future. The ARFQ office is in Montreal.
