Fabienne Colas Foundation: Being Black in Canada Program
About the Program
The Fabienne Colas Foundation’s Being Black in Canada program – Canada’s largest incubator dedicated to Black Filmmakers - is thrilled to be back with a call for applications for its 2023 edition. Thanks to the support of NETFLIX, the National Bank, Telefilm Canada, Canada Council for the Arts, and our local partners, the Program will support 35 new young, promising Black filmmakers in Montreal, Toronto, Halifax, Ottawa, Calgary, and Vancouver.
The Fabienne Colas Foundation’s Being Black in Canada Program offers professional mentorship in the audiovisual production of a short film with the theme of “Being Black in Canada.” 35 new young, promising Black filmmakers in Montreal, Toronto, Halifax, Ottawa, Calgary, and Vancouver: 5 per city, and 10 in Montreal (5 francophones and 5 anglophones) will be guided through the many steps in audiovisual production (screenwriting, directing, editing, post-production, etc.), and will create a documentary short (from 8 to 10 minutes). This process will be carried out under the professional tutelage of industry professionals with professional equipment.
