TIFF: The Market Producer Delegation 2026

· ·

Screen Australia, in partnership with Ontario Creates, are convening a delegation of Australian producers to travel to Toronto to encourage early-stage creative connections, foster meaningful relationships and B2B partnerships for Official Co-productions made under the Australia/Canada Co-production treaty.

The focus of this call out is for narrative and documentary features. Producers with successful track records in television or direct to audience releases are eligible to apply, provided their upcoming slate has some feature films intended for co-production with Canada.

This funding aims to support Australian producers—who have proven experience with Official Co productions or have completed projects of comparable scale, and who can demonstrate strong success and clear traction in Canada from recent credits —to pursue new co development and co production opportunities for projects made under the Australia/Canada Co-production treaty.
