🎬 CMPA Joins Global Call to Protect Independent Film & Television Sectors
The Canadian Media Producers Association (CMPA) has joined over 100 global organizations in signing a petition to uphold independent audiovisual production industries in the face of growing political and corporate pressures affecting cultural protections.
🇨🇦 Other Canadian signatories include the Association québécoise de la production médiatique (AQPM), Alliance des producteurs francophones du Canada, and the Association des réalisateurs et réalisatrices du Québec.
The petition affirms that every country has the right to develop and protect its own cultural policies — and urges action to counter efforts that could weaken screen quotas, local content requirements, and funding obligations for streaming platforms.
