The Canada Media Fund (CMF) has invested approximately $500,000 in eight TV and interactive digital media projects through two international co-development and coproduction incentives.

The CMF and Film Fund Luxembourg (FFL) have allocated just over $400,000 each to five TV and digital media projects through the Co-development and Coproduction Incentive for Audiovisual Projects.

The projects include the English-language digital series Radio Luxembourg (Helios Graphic Design), with CMF committing $219,000 in production support.

Four French-language projects are all receiving development funding: the game Tachychronie (Département studio créatif); video project Kabita (Creo Inc.); children’s and youth title Leonel et les loups (Yzanakio); and drama Dieuaimé (Yzanakio). The first three projects are receiving $50,000 from the CMF, while Dieuaimé is receiving $35,000.

The CMF and South Africa’s National Film & Video Foundation (NFVF) have invested more than $171,000 in three English-language TV projects via the Canada-South Africa Co-development Incentive for Television Projects. The CMF’s contribution is approximately $76,000, and NFVF has invested $95,000.

Three projects are receiving development funding, including the dramas The Committee (Look Mom! Productions; $32,500) and Vea the Grapevine (Fae Pictures; $22,500), and the documentary project Wild Waters (Peterson Polaris Corp; $21,525).

In total, the investments in the eight projects add up to nearly $1 million.
