Manitoba Film & Music

The Manitoba Film & Sound Recording Development Corporation (Manitoba Film & Music) is a statutory corporation of government proclaimed under the Manitoba Film and Sound Recording Development Corporation Act funded by the Province of Manitoba through the Department of Tourism, Culture, Heritage, Sport & Consumer Protection. We exist so Manitoba's film and music industries flourish! MFM supports Manitoba film and music through our objectives, which are to create, stimulate, employ and invest in Manitoba by developing and promoting Manitoba companies, producing and marketing film, television, video and music recording projects as well as to promote Manitoba as a film location for off-shore production companies. MFM is a member of the Association of Film Commissions International (AFCI). Manitoba Film & Music was originally created as a partnership between the federal and provincial governments in 1987 under the name of CIDO (Cultural Industries Development Office) to provide support to Manitoba's film, video and music recording industries. In 1992, the agency became a not-for-profit corporation funded through the Department of Culture, Heritage and Citizenship. On September 1, 1998, Manitoba Film & Music became a statutory corporation of the government proclaimed under the Manitoba Film and Sound Recording Development Corporation Act, with the appointment of a nine-member Board of Directors.
