About US

THE QFTC IS AT THE HEART AND AT THE SERVICE OF QUEBEC’S AUDIOVISUAL INDUSTRY!

Our Mission

The Quebec Film and Television Council (QFTC) is a non-profit organization whose mission is to contribute to the development and competitiveness of Quebec as a world-class film and television production centre.

It generates investments in Quebec by relying on competitive tax incentive programs, the expertise of the sector’s members, the geographical and architectural diversity, the quality of its infrastructure, and the industry’s ability to export its products to foreign markets.

15th Anniversary

Today, this mission is focused on two main avenues:

Film Commission Services (Promotion)

They highlight the advantages of shooting in Quebec: an extraordinary architectural diversity, a skilled workforce, a world-class infrastructure, a high-end professional environment and one of the best visual effects ecosystems in the world.

Sector-Specific Development (Cluster)

The QFTC is also a forum for exchange and cooperation where concrete actions are taken to support market growth. It leads major studies and consultation projects to measure, guide and better document the industrial development of the sector.

Capitale-Nationale (Québec City)

The Capitale-Nationale region offers a wide variety of natural settings and truly is the perfect environment for filming. The Old Québec neighbourhood is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The historic capital is unique in North America for its remarkable architecture, European ambience and military fortifications. In fact, it’s the only fortified city north of Mexico.
Among the many remarkable features, you will find magnificent, pristine parks; villages with numerous historic buildings, some dating back to New France; the rigorously reconstructed village of Wendake, home of the Huron-Wendat Nation; the dramatic landscapes along the banks of the majestic St. Lawrence River, and many other others. A film office and an experienced local workforce are at your service.

Abitibi-Témiscamingue

A landscape of contrasting scenery of lakes and rivers, the vast region of Abitibi-Témiscamingue is situated north of the Ottawa river region, along the Quebec-Ontario border. It is inhabited by friendly people who take pride in sharing their history and culture.

Abitibi-Témiscamingue is very young, as far as regions go—its oldest city is 130 years old. However, traces of the Anishinabek people date back 8,000 years, and this Algonquin First Nation continues to be a thriving presence in the territory today.
