The Feature Film Project (the “FFP”) was established by the Canadian Film Centre in the summer of 1992 as a not-for-profit programme dedicated to overseeing and providing 100% of the financing and mentorship needed for the successful development, production and marketing of low-budget dramatic feature films for first-time filmmakers.
Designed to further enhance the Film Centre’s national mission in advancing and serving Canadian talent, the FFP has afforded 73 writers, producers and directors and hundreds of professional actors and technicians the opportunity to test their skills and prove their creative talents on 16 features including Blood & Donuts (’93), Rude (’94), Cube (’97), The Uncles (’00), The Art Of Woo (’01), Khaled (’02), Show Me (’04), Head Games (’04) and Siblings (’04). The Film Centre was founded in 1988 by Canadian-born Academy Award-winning filmmaker Norman Jewison.
The FFP is committed to serving the Canadian film community by driving forward the storytelling abilities, creativity, innovation and excellence of Canada’s best talent. The films executive produced through the FFP have been screened at and selected by prestigious festivals around the world (including Cannes and the Toronto International Film Festival) and released commercially in Canada as well as major territories internationally to numerous awards and achievements. |
