CANCELLED

We regret to inform you that we have cancelled the Watch Canada! panel. The Public Tribute to former Premier Peter Lougheed begins at 1pm. We feel that many of the CIFF audience and industry will want to attend the Tribute.

Canadian content can be remarkable but if no one sees or is aware of it, there’s a big problem.

We will present an open discussion on how to expand audiences and increase awareness of Canadian content in film, television and digital media. This panel will gather the best and the brightest of the broadcasting, production, distribution and content creator industries in Canada, along with members of the community, to suggest ways to increase audience viewing on all visual platforms.

Participants will include: Carolle Brabant, Telefilm Canada; Val Creighton, Canada Media Fund; Michael Hennessey, CMPA; Tom Alexander, Mongrel Media; Neil Campbell, Landmark Cinemas; and Moderator Tom Cox, AMPIA.

THIS PANEL IS FREE AND OPEN TO THE GENERAL PUBLIC ON A FIRST-COME FIRST-SERVED BASIS.
