Continuing the theme of Canada’s appeal on the global stage, our upcoming panel will explore Canada’s emergence as a global leader in the film and television industry and why it is being hailed as ‘Hollywood North’.
With international competition for film and television production intensifying due to unprecedented demand for original content and video-on-demand subscription services, Canada, which is known for having one of the most diverse, innovative, and dynamic film and television industries in the world, has remained at the forefront of the Hollywood production boom reaffirming itself as an attractive, world-class destination and a key player in the global market.
As a preeminent centre of production and post-production excellence accompanied by world-class crews, growing talent, and one of the largest screen-based industries in North America, Toronto continues to pave the way for the nation’s thriving industry – and we look forward to fostering an insightful discussion around its emergence and global appeal in this dynamic space.
