Canadian Independent Film & Video Fund

The CIFVF strives to have the best board members available to provide knowledgeable policy and operational advice and corporate governance. Its Board members are therefore active members of the Canadian industry and, as such, are also eligible to apply to the Fund. To ensure that there is no potential conflict of interest, no CIFVF Board member sits on the jury that makes all decisions on the selection of projects for funding. The independent jury's decisions are final and are not ratified by the CIFVF Board of Directors. Applications are assessed by a jury of peers, composed of one producer, one distributor and one end-user. There are three juries for Film and Video projects: one for French language projects and two for English language ( www.cifvf.ca )
