A year-long development experience for promising Canadian women in film, the #TIFF21 Talent Accelerator participants are: Directors: Omolola Ajao Sarra El Abed Producers: Tamara Mariam Dawit Shehrezade Mian Screenwriters: Yasmine Mathurin Mayumi Yoshida
WarnerMedia has finalized the participants joining its inaugural Access Writers Program, an initiative to support writers from underrepresented communities in the U.S. (entry-level) and in Canada (mid-level) in partnership with the Academy of Canadian Cinema & Television.
The country's major funding provider for films is updating its eligibility criteria amid growing criticism that projects be primarily in English, French or an Indigenous language.
Filmmakers like Vancouver-based Mayumi Yoshida say Telefilm Canada's criteria are outdated and don't reflect the breadth of Canadian experiences, especially those of immigrants and people of colour.
