The Canadian film industry dates back to the late 1800s and the rise of filmmaking itself. Over the years, Canada has produced many films, brought out notable directors, and world-renowned actors, producers, and writers. Canadian films are often funded with a combination of government funding and incentives, broadcaster investment, and film distributors. In 2020, Canada’s film and television production industry created over $9 billion in production volume, contributed $12.2 billion to the GDP and generated nearly 244,500 jobs.
