Tënk is a streaming platform entirely dedicated to author-driven documentary. The platform has been active for three years, primarily in Quebec, and is now fully bilingual and expanding across Canada.This webinar will share Tënk’s unique approach to distribution and how it can help independent filmmakers and introduce you to its codirectors: Florence Lamothe and Naomie Décarie-Daigneault.

Tënk is officially recognized as an eligible platform by CAVCO, and can trigger access to funding and your Federal tax credits.

Join us for a series of lunchtime moderated online conversations aimed at increasing documentary production in Atlantic Canada. Throughout 2023, nine conversations will be hosted by DOC Atlantic, in collaboration with Lunenburg Doc Fest and DOCTalks.
 
The first three conversations are focused on some alarming trends. Despite the public’s increasing appetite for documentaries and a growing number of DOC Atlantic members, documentary one-off production in Atlantic Canada has decreased even more than in other regions. At the Canada Media Fund (CMF), productions in this region represent just 5% of one-offs financed in the last seven years and 2.7% of the POV documentaries during the same period. No documentary applications from the Atlantic region have been funded under Telefilm’s Theatrical Documentary program since 2018-2019.
 
To understand this, we have reached out to our producing partners, who want to hear from you. We invite you to share your perspectives with the CBC, Telefilm, and Documentary Channel and also learn about how you can work with them. Our goal is for these conversations to engage documentary creators and producing partners to turn the tide – to sustain our industry so we can thrive as a documentary community.
