Funding Realities: A Community Townhall

March 8, 2026 @ 11:00 am - 12:15 pm

A candid town-hall style dialogue between funders and producers that addresses the current gaps, pressures, and possibilities within Canada’s funding landscape. As funding models shift and filmmakers’ needs evolve, this panel focuses on transparency and creates space for honest conversation about what support structures are working, where the roadblocks are, and how both sides can collaborate to build more responsive pathways for financing local films.

Panelists: Brishkay Ahmed, and Sarah Jane Flynn
