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.

Date Time Venue Address Tuesday March 8 11:30 am – 1:30 pm Edmonton Arts Council 10440 108 Ave NW Thursday March 10 7:00 pm – 9:00 pm NAIT – Rm X107 11762 106 Street Saturday March 12 10:00 am – 12:00 pm FAVA 9722 102 St NW Wednesday March 16 7:00 pm – 9:00 pm Edmonton Arts Council 10440 108 Ave NW
