For the past year, the Office of the Edmonton Film Commissioner has been vacant. Understanding the importance of a strong film, television and digital screen industry, the Edmonton City Council Executive Council directed the City Administration to do the following:
Work with the Edmonton Arts Council, Edmonton Economic Development Corporation and Industry Stakeholders and return to Executive Committee with a recommended Terms of Reference, scope and clearly defined partners, membership and funding strategy for a preferred model to replace the film commission.
Input from industry stakeholders is the critical part of this process. Four (4) consultation sessions have been set up to:
- Inform stakeholders of the process to date
- Discuss significant changes in the industry
- Seek input on how to best increase screen production in the Edmonton area
- Determine what new role the Film Commission should have
- Provide additional feedback
All the sessions listed below will follow the same format and subjects, so individuals need only sign up for one session.
