Telefilm Canada or Téléfilm Canada is a Crown corporation owned by the Government of Canada.
It is the primary federal cultural agency dedicated to the development and promotion of the Canadian audiovisual industry.
Originally founded as the Canadian Film Development Corporation in 1967, which marked the beginning of federal government efforts to promote the development of a Canadian-owned and -controlled film industry. The CFDC was renamed to Telefilm Canada in 1984.
The Corporation provides financial support to the private sector to create distinctively Canadian productions that appeal to domestic and international audiences. Telefilm also administers the funding programs of the Canadian Television Fund.
