Alberta Film Industry Grant Increase

In a move to be applauded, and following the recommendations of the Alberta Film Commission Advisory Council, The Alberta Foundation for the Arts has increased grant amounts available to the Alberta film industry. The move was implemented to help make Alberta even more attractive to movie-makers from around the world.

"These changes will help make it affordable for Alberta producers to stay in the province and make our artists more attractive to co-producing partners from around the world," said Gary Mar, Minister of Community Development.
