Screen Australia, in partnership with Ontario Creates, has opened applications for the 2026 Producer Delegation to TIFF: The Market. The initiative will support an Australian delegation of up to 10 producers or individuals from production companies to travel to Toronto to encourage early-stage creative connections and foster meaningful relationships and B2B partnerships. The aim is to create new co‑development and co‑production opportunities made under the Australia/Canada Co-production treaty.
Successful applicants will receive funding of up to $10,000 each for travel, accommodation, living, insurance and accreditation in Toronto to attend a Screen Australia and Ontario Creates Co-Pro Matchmaking Day (10 September) and pursue business opportunities at TIFF: The Market (10-20 September).
Narrative and documentary feature film producers with successful track records in television or direct-to-audience releases, with feature films intended for co-production with Canada in their slate are encouraged to apply. Proven experience with Official Co‑productions or completed projects of comparable scale and demonstrated success and clear traction in Canada from recent credits is required.
A funding cap of $10,000 per application will be in place, whether the applicant is an individual (including on behalf of a team) or a production company.
Applications close at 5.00pm AEST on Thursday 21 May 2026. More information regarding eligibility and assessment criteria and how to apply can be found here.
