On Screen Manitoba, Manitoba Film and Music, Manitoba Music and Le 100 Nons are this weekend celebrating 25 years of film, screen entertainment and music in the province.

“Manitoba’s film industry has a lot to be proud of. Over the last 25 years we have been punching well above our weight while creating Gemini, Genie, Emmy and Academy Award-winning content. In the last ten years alone Manitoba has seen nearly $1 billion in production. The strength of our industry can be credited to the incredible and sustained support we’ve received from all levels of government. This support, combined with the talents of our experienced producers and crews, has fostered our reputation as a hub of media production,” says Manitoba Film and Music CEO and film commissioner Carole Vivier.

“Consistent government commitment to support the development of the Manitoba media production industry these past 25 years has facilitated the establishment  of some 30 production companies, a rich pool of creative talent and highly-skilled technicians. An estimated 1,400 people work in the sector and in the past 10 years we have produced over 530 projects including features and series in all genres. The recent launch of a commercial 3D animation studio in Winnipeg along with a growing number of companies working in the convergent sphere speaks to the dynamism of the community,” says On Screen Manitoba exec director Nicole Matiation.

The celebration event on Saturday in Winnipeg begins at 7 p.m. For more information, click here.

In Winnipeg, CBC telefilm The Jack Layton Story was shot in August, and in September Opus Visual Effects and Buffalo Gal Pictures pacted to launch an animation studio. And last year, Sean Garrity’s My Awkward Sexual Adventure, which debuted at this year’s TIFF, was also shot in Winnipeg.
