Economic Results for the Year 2022

2022 REVIEW FOR QUEBEC'S AUDIOVISUAL INDUSTRY

The Quebec Film and Television Council (QFTC) is issuing today its annual press release regarding the direct expenditure figures for Quebec’s audiovisual industry.
The 2022 results show once again remarkable economic growth, with almost all industry sectors on the rise. While the QFTC is pleased to see continued growth since the impact of the public health crisis in 2020, the figures published today must be interpreted with caution.

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.

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.
