OTTAWA -- Try to guess which of these movies is Canadian: Disney's "Turning Red," which tells the story of growing up as a Chinese-Canadian teen in Toronto and stars Ottawa-born Sandra Oh, or the Oscar-winning sci-fi epic "Dune" from Montreal director Denis Villeneuve and a team of Canadian collaborators.Policy-makers and experts in Canada's creative industries are now grappling with the thorny issue of what, precisely, makes a film or television program Canadian.
Should Bill C-11 pass, it would "create a more equitable playing field for Canadian creators and corporations, while ensuring that audiences will benefit from the enhanced visibility of Canadian content," says Christa Dickenson, executive director and CEO of Telefilm Canada. "Government policy is already a success in enticing productions to Canada," Geist added. "This is where we should be starting -- from an economic perspective."
"When they own their intellectual property, they own their stories, and can invest that revenue back into our industry." Those rules require a Canadian producer and a Canadian director or screenwriter. Points are awarded for the number of Canadians in leading roles or other key creative positions. Canadians must also feature prominently in the production and post-production.
who oversees CRTC
Liberals want to control what Canadians see *acts surprised*
What is a woman ?
Sound so undemocratic to have an entity (state controlled entity) control our media and determine what we should or shouldn’t see. Makes it easy to broadcast their propaganda thru their state approved content.
CRTC = Can't Recognize True Canadians. CRTC is too busy bending to the will of the telecommunications industry and serving us all up to them to be pillaged.
It needs to feature one moose, a self-deprecating joke about medicare, something about how we're not Americans and is half in French. Kidding, the moose is optional.
The CRTC has been a terrible regulator and should be disbanded. Can’t even get a grasp on telecommunications for consumers and bows to corporate interests. No confidence in aiding the public and industry workers with this at all.
Nothing new for the crtc. They are scared we mite know is more out there than what they wants us to see. No competition just overpriced bell rogers. As they say you will have nothing and like it
Regulator is killing the economy
“Regulator” lol what is this China?
So stupid lol.
Sounds like something Putin would approve. This seams all about enriching Canadian media oligarchs. Neoliberalism at its finest.
