About US

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

Our Mission

The Québec Film and Television Council (QFTC) is dedicated to bringing together, mobilizing and representing the audiovisual industry in the Province of Quebec, promoting its strengths, creating business opportunities for its members, and contributing to its continued growth so that it remains a strategic driver of Quebec’s cultural and economic vitality.

Guided by this mission, the QFTC serves as a catalyst for collaboration and innovation and strives to be the leading voice of the industry by delivering strategic initiatives that address the challenges of an ever-evolving sector.

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.
