6 Canadian Film and Television Production at a glance: Screen-based Production in Canada The screen-based production industry in Canada is a major source of economic activity and jobs for Canadians across the country. The industry comprises film and television production as well as convergent digital media production. The film and television production segment comprises three key sectors: 1. The Canadian Film and Television Production sector is the largest of the key sectors. It can be further subdivided into two subsectors: Television Production and Theatrical Production. Canadian production comprises films and television programs made largely by independent production companies, although it also includes television programs made by production companies affiliated with Canadian broadcasters. All of the television programs and films in the Canadian production sector are certified as Canadian content by either the Canadian Audio-Visual Certification Office (CAVCO) of the Department of Canadian Heritage or the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC). 2. The Foreign Location and Service Production sector is the second-largest segment and largely comprises feature films and television programs filmed in Canada by foreign producers or by Canadian service producers on behalf of foreign producers. The majority of foreign location and service production is made by producers based in the United States (U.S.); however, approximately 1% to 15% of the production activity in this sector is made by Canadian producers. 3. The Broadcaster In-House Production sector includes television programs made by Canadian television broadcasters in their own facilities, and comprises primarily news, sports and current affairs programming. The screen-based production industry also includes Convergent Digital Media Production, which is an emerging sector. Convergent digital media production comprises screen-based content and applications for digital media platforms (e.g., video games, interactive web content, on-demand content, podcasts, webisodes, and mobisodes), which are associated with films and television programs. Global production statistics in Profile 212 such as total film and television production in Canada do not include figures for convergent digital media production.

8 1. Screen-based Production in Canada In 21/11, the screen-based production industry in Canada experienced a healthy 1.6% increase in the total volume of production, which was largely on account of a significant rise in FLS production. In 211/12, the industry continued to grow: the total volume of production expanded by 5.6% to a ten-year high of $5.9 billion. In 211/12, however, the industry s overall growth was almost entirely due to higher levels of Canadian production. While FLS production dropped by 1.6% to just under $1.7 billion, all other industry segments experienced increases in production activity. Broadcaster in-house production was 1.1% higher in 211/12; however, it was Canadian production, and in particular Canadian television production, that underpinned another successful year of growth for the industry. Canadian television production increased 21.3% in 211/12, to a ten-year high of just under $2.6 billion. While both the English- and French-language markets contributed to this increase, it was English-language fiction television production that really fuelled the rise in activity. In 211/12, the volume of English-language fiction television production climbed by 41.4% to just under $1.1 billion. A large portion of this increase was due to higher average hourly budgets, rather than more projects. Canadian theatrical production also reached a ten-year high, climbing by 14.1% to $381 million. As was the case with Canadian television production, both language markets contributed to the increase: English-language production increased by 15.4%, while French-language production rose by 11.2%. Most of the increase in the volume of Canadian theatrical production was due to higher budgets, since the number of projects actually decreased in 211/12. With these higher budgets came an influx of foreign financing. Indeed, the increase in production volume ($47 million) in 211/12 was nearly equivalent to the increase in the level of foreign financing of Canadian theatrical production ($55 million).

14 Screen-based Production in Canada Convergent Digital Media Production The digital media production sector consists of Canadian and non-canadian individuals and companies that create digital media content and experiences that range across platforms: from mobile devices, to computers, to television screens. Digital media production varies greatly: from applications used in passing, on a person s daily commute, to rich and immersive experiential content supported by multi-million dollar budgets. As audiences expand their use of digital devices (i.e., computers, smartphones, tablet devices) to find, access and enjoy screenbased content, digital media production will become increasingly important to the audiovisual experience. In 211/12, several Canadian-produced digital media products achieved significant international recognition. For example, a graduate student from the University of Montreal won a 211 Indie Game Award in the Best Student Game category for FRACT, a first-person puzzle game set in an abstract world inspired by electronic music. 2 Also, several National Film Board of Canada productions were nominated for Webby Awards in 211, including Highrise/Out My Window, The Test Tube with David Suzuki and GDP: Measuring the Human Side of the Canadian Economic Crisis. 3 Highrise/Out My Window also won an International Digital Emmy Award for best digital nonfiction program. 4 Canada s digital media production industry continued to grow in 211/12, particularly in the area of mobile application development. Toronto-based Polar Mobile was tapped as one of Canada s most promising emerging software companies by PricewaterhouseCoopers. Meanwhile a former employee of Electronic Arts in British Columbia founded the mobile game studio, Genius Factor (creator of the Gravity Well app). One key segment of the digital media production industry is the production of convergent digital media. 5 Convergent digital media production refers to the digital media components of television projects. Such components are typically standalone products that relate to, extend, and/or enhance the associated television property. This type of product, though not dependent on, is often stimulated by the stipulations of the Canada Media Fund (CMF) with respect to the expenditures of broadcasters performance envelopes. As defined by the CMF s Performance Envelope Program Guidelines , a convergent digital media product must be associated with a standard television project, must be made available for the Canadian public via a digital network (e.g. internet, mobile and wireless services) and must be rich and substantial. Volume Convergent digital media production is, of course, only one relatively small aspect of Canada s wider digital media industry. While no industry-wide survey was conducted in 211, there are signs of vibrant industry activity. For example, the games-development portion of the digital media production industry alone which comprised some 348 companies generated over $1.7 billion in economic activity and employed 15,7 Canadians in Convergent digital media production, as a segment of the wider digital media industry, yielded $34.6 million in production volume in 211/12. 2 Independent Games Festival, 211 Independent Games Festival Announces Student Showcase Winners, press release, downloaded from on November 18, National Film Board of Canada, NFB nets five Webby Awards nominations, press release, April 13, 211, downloaded from press-room/press-releases-media-kits/?idpres=2249 on November 18, National Film Board of Canada, National Film Board of Canada interactive documentary wins International Digital Emmy, press released, April 4, 211, downloaded from on November 18, Profile 21 presented statistics for Canada s digital media content creation sector.

Household adoption of video platforms There was a sharp rise in the percentage of Canadians using the Internet to watch video (e.g., television programs or video clips) in 211. At the same time, the percentage of Canadians watching television over the Internet or using their cellphones to watch video also increased in 211.

16 Screen-based Production in Canada In the English-language market, the usage of the Internet for watching television programming was on par with the use of personal video recorders (PVRs) in Canada in 211. While the share of Canadians watching video on their cellphones was above 8% in 211, the share watching television programming on their cellphones was much lower: 3% in the French-language market and 4% in the English-language market. The use of tablet devices for watching television programming was also still quite low in 211 at under 3%. Despite the fact that Netflix only launched its service in Canada in September 21, by fall 211, 1% of Canadians reported that they already held a subscription to the over-the-top video streaming service for films and television programming.

17 2. Canadian Film and Television Production Canadian film and television production includes all film and television production made by Canadian production companies. Most Canadian production is made by independent production companies, although broadcaster-affiliated production companies7 also account for some production in this sector. Canadian film and television production includes television programs and films with certification from the Canadian Audio-Visual Certification Office (CAVCO) and/or the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC). This sector excludes broadcaster in-house production: that is, television programming such as news, sports and public affairs programming, produced by Canadian broadcasters. Highlights from 211/12 The volume of Canadian film and television production jumped by 2.3% to an all-time high of $2.96 billion. Children s and youth production rose by 24.9% to a ten-year high of $451 million, after falling by 18.7% in 21/11. Canadian film and television production generated 66,4 FTEs of employment in Canada, including 26,1 FTEs directly in film and television production roles. Documentary production increased by 14.6% to $369 million. Canadian film and television production generated GDP of $3.82 billion for the Canadian economy, including $1.54 billion in production-industry GDP and $2.28 billion in spin-off GDP. The sharp increase in Canadian film and television production was largely driven by increases in the English-language market, where production volume rose by 23.6% to $2.17 billion. French-language production increased by 9.5% to $75 million. The production of lifestyle programming increased by 29.7% to $297 million. Production in the variety and performing arts genre decreased 4.1% to $165 million. Production in the magazine-programming genre rose by 1.6% to $94 million, following a 26.7% drop in 21/11. Canadian animation production also recovered strongly, increasing by 46.5% to $28 million, after dropping by 36.6% in 21/11. Canadian film and television production in the fiction genre increased by 23.4% to $1.56 billion. 7 Affiliated production companies are production companies in which a Canadian broadcaster owns or controls at least 3% of the (voting) equity.

18 Canadian Production // total canadian production Higher levels of production volume in both the television and theatrical sub-sectors helped push the overall volume of Canadian film and television production to an all-time high of just under $3 billion in 211/12. While the contribution to this increase was broadly based across different genres and language markets, it was television-fiction production, in particular, that was largely responsible for the overall increase in volume in this sector. In the five years leading up to 211/12, the annual volume of Canadian film and television production had essentially stayed in the range of $2.4 billion to $2.5 billion, as annual increases in one sub-sector were typically offset by decreases in the other (Exhibit 2-1). In 211/12, however, both sub-sectors and both language markets displayed strong synchronized increases in production volume, foreign financing and other private Canadian financing (Exhibit 2-27). All of the key genres, except variety and performing arts, posted higher levels of production volume in 211/12, with most of these increases originating in the television sub-sector. The fiction genre the largest genre of Canadian production broke out after five years in which it, too, had stayed at around $1.2 billion in annual production volume (Exhibit 2-5). The overall volume of fiction production rose by $296 million to an all-time high of $1.56 billion in 211/12. And while fiction production in the theatrical sub-sector was virtually unchanged at $32 million, production in the television sub-sector rose by 3.4% to $1.26 billion. Statistics presented later in this report show that this sharp rise in television-fiction production in 211/12 was due less to higher numbers of television series than to higher average budgets in the English-language market. The production of prime-time Canadian dramas such as Saving Hope, Rookie Blue and Bomb Girls underpinned the higher levels of Canadian television production, which, in turn, helped attract greater numbers of Canadian television viewers to Canadian programming, and offered the potential for increased exports of Canadian programming to other markets. Along with international sales and audience appeal, Canadian fiction television and theatrical production also garnered considerable international critical acclaim in 212. Monsieur Lazhar received an Oscar nomination for Best Foreign Language Film. The Canada-U.S. mini-series, The Kennedys was nominated for ten Primetime Emmy Awards and won four. Meanwhile, the long-running Canadian serial, Degrassi, received an Emmy nomination for Outstanding Children s Program for the second consecutive year. Children s and youth production bounced back from a sharp drop in 21/11, rising by 24.9% to $451 million in 211/12 (Exhibit 2-8). Children s and youth production in 211/12 was higher than it had been in any of the past ten years, surpassing its previous peak in 29/1. In both 29/1 and 211/12, this genre enjoyed a boost from higher-than-normal levels of theatrical production a type of production that was very limited for this genre prior to 26/7. Documentary production also rose after two consecutive years of decline. Its production volume increased by 14.6% to $369 million, largely due to the rise in television production (Exhibit 2-12). Over the past decade, virtually all documentary production was in the television sub-sector. During the past decade, the annual volume of theatrical documentary production never exceeded $24 million and averaged half of that level. Canadian animation production also recovered in 211/12. After dropping by 36.6% in 21/11 to a ten-year low of $142 million, it rebounded to $28 million (Exhibit 2-22). Higher levels of children s and youth animation production in both language markets helped to underpin the sharp rebound. However, over the longer term, the steadily rising levels of overall children s and youth production did not translate into higher levels of animation production activity. The volume of animation production in 211/12 including both television and theatrical production was at virtually the same level ($28 million) it stood at in 22/3 ($27 million). 16 Profile 212

19 Canadian Production // total canadian production The increased level of Canadian film and television production in 211/12 was fuelled by higher levels of both foreign financing and other private Canadian financing. The former increased by $73 million in 211/12 and accounted for 9% of total financing, while the latter grew by $41 million and accounted for 1% of total financing (Exhibit 2-27). Canadian distributors also increased their investment in Canadian films and television programs, with a view to international sales. In total, these three sources added $265 million in financing to Canadian film and television production, bringing the total value of their combined annual investment to $943 million.

Film and television production can be grouped into two categories: live action and animation. A more detailed look at the breakdown of children s and youth production reveals that a large share of the English-language production can be traced back to the fact that most animation production in the genre is originally produced in English. The relatively low volume of animation production originally produced in French can, in part, be attributed to the fact that animation is a highly exportable commodity, and therefore, there is an incentive to make the original version in English for dubbing or subtitling into other languages.

33 Canadian Production // total canadian production Audiovisual Treaty Coproduction 8 Audiovisual treaty coproduction is production developed jointly by production companies in two or more treaty nations. It is founded on the principle of reciprocity whereby partnering companies share economic risk, ownership, creative control and benefits from their respective governments pursuant to the terms of a treaty. The Government of Canada currently has coproduction agreements with 53 partner countries. Treaty coproduction is an important avenue through which Canadian and foreign producers are able to combine their creative, technical and financial resources to coproduce films and television programs that benefit from national status in each of the partnering countries. Partnering production companies can take either a majority or minority participation position in a coproduction project, depending, in large part, on the proportion of financing each producer brings to the project.
