The Council regularly publishes statistics and studies in order to inform its members of current trends and innovations. It conducts a strategic national and international watch to seize business opportunities. It also offers its members networking opportunities through various activities throughout the year: committees and meetings, lectures and activities, professional events, etc. Lastly, the Council promotes collaboration among its members by identifying opportunities and facilitating business connections.
In collaboration with its members, the QFTC develops various initiatives to foster innovation, support growth and ensure the representation of its members to the various levels of government.
In collaboration with the independent firm RCGT, the Ministère de l’Économie and several other major industry stakeholders, the Council conducted a study to examine in detail the factors and conditions required to build new studio infrastructure to increase, or even double, the province’s capacity.
This study underscores the dedication of the QFTC to ensuring that infrastructure is adapted to the growth of filming in Quebec.
To foster collaboration within the industry, the QFTC has created a subcommittee dedicated to virtual production. This action aims to bring VFX professionals and set technicians closer together and to stimulate synergy between the various players in the implementation of this new virtual production technology.
Additionally, in collaboration with the NAD-UQAC school, the Council offers training on real-time production to VFX and animation studio artists.
As a representative of the visual effects and animation industry, the QFTC communicates the sector’s needs and issues to the relevant governmental authorities. It conducts studies and compiles statistical data to inform the government and its members of current trends. It also makes sure to identify opportunities for the sector’s growth and works with institutions and companies to seize them.
Each year, the QFTC and its members take part in events designed to promote careers and trades in the audiovisual sector. The Council also promotes the industry to young people to nurture the next generation of passionate and skilled talent.
At the request of the Live-Action and VFX & Animation committees, a consultation table gathering all key stakeholders was convened. This panel identified the needs, issues and priorities regarding workforce growth. Five main avenues were identified: analysis of workforce needs; training-employment balance; promotion and visibility of the trades; attraction and retention of personnel; immigration.

The objective of the Rolling Green program is to facilitate the adoption of eco-friendly measures for audiovisual productions.
Any production, regardless of its size or type, will be able to benefit from the recommended practices and references to reduce its impact on the environment.
The QFTC initiated the creation of this network and manages its coordination.
The network greatly facilitates the exchange and sharing of news between Canadian provinces, through all levels of representation.
The meetings of the Regional Film Commissions of the Province of Quebec are coordinated by the QFTC to maintain dialogue and ongoing exchange with the various regions.
The main objectives of this project are: to establish better communication between the offices; to promote active collaboration between all of them; to work together on regional projects, problems and issues in the audiovisual sector; and, finally, to promote the involvement of the regional offices.
