Cannes Programmer Urges French Filmmakers to Work With Netflix

documentary set to be streamed in Canada by the local Crave platform after premiering here. "It's one ecosystem. There's just new fish in the water," Bailey argued.

"Both Netflix and Amazon have been really influential in getting films to wide audiences, films coming from India — from a filmmaker like Anurag Kashyap — are suddenly being seen in 190 countries," he added. The Toronto industry panel discussed how major film festivals are having an impact on an evolving film business where major exhibitors and streaming players are at loggerheads, and festival programmers still aim at artistic excellence and elevating filmmakers.

Sundance director of programming Kim Yutani tipped her hat to Netflix for innovation. "They're pioneering things," she said, as Sundance's role as a discovery festival is in part to "find artists that eventually will end up in the arms of Netflix and Amazon to get to wider audiences."
