Québec culture has carved out an important place around the world. Its characteristic vitality
and uniqueness have served to ensure that foreign audiences have been won over by several of the very same works that are so important to the collective memory in Québec.
For several years now, the Québec film industry has been thriving and has achieved new heights of renown. As mi-nister of Culture and Communications, I am pleased to see that the exceptional love story between our cinema and the Cannes Film Festival continues again this year.
I congratulate all of the creators associa-ted with the films that have been selected for this, the 67th edition of the Cannes Film Festival. I would like to thank these passionate and visionary women and men who are the heart of our film in-dustry. Its success and reputation are to your credit.
Bon cinéma québécois!

WHY CORPRODUCE IN QUÉBEC? Throughout the world, Québec is recognized for its highly skilled, talented, creative, efficient, bilingual workforce and for its wide variety of locations and cutting-edge technical infrastructures. However, Québec is particularly attractive due to its vast experience in international coproductions and its stable banking services and financial tools.
In addition to the possibility of contributions from private investors, distributors and broadcasters, Québec productions also benefit from several interesting tax tools and public funds attractive to foreign producers.
Coproducing in Québec
21
SELECTIVE SUPPORT
SODEC (Société de développement des entreprises culturelles du Québec)
The SODEC is a government agency that reports to the Ministre de la Culture et des Communications du Québec. Founded in 1995, it is now a driving force of cultural development as it fulfils its mandate of promoting and supporting the establishment and development of cultural enterprises in all regions of Que-bec. It is also responsible for ensuring the collective presence of these same companies at fairs, festivals and interna-tional markets.
From 2004 to 2012, the SODEC invested close to $35 million in international co-productions via selective contributions :
• Selective support for development, production, marketing, broadcast and promotion offered in the form of project investments, non-refundable and refundable grants.
• Selective assistance programs: recoupable invest-ments for documentaries (one-off, miniseries or series), and short, medium, and feature-length fiction films including animation.
• Production support of up to 49% of the Québec bud-get, with applicable caps according to the production format.
• Submitted projects must meet the aid program criteria. • An international coproduction must be recognized as
an official coproduction according to a treaty signed with Canada and administered by Telefilm Canada.
Evaluation parameters for a coproduc-tion where Québec is a minority partner:
• The project must be filed by the Québec coproduction partner by the application deadline.
• At least 40% of the foreign financing must be confirmed.• SODEC specifically evaluates:
» the business partnership with the foreign copro-ducer which could lead to a reciprocal deal where the Québec producer would be the major partner;
» the proposed film; » the national and international marketing plans.
• Financial assistance is evaluated on the Québec share of the project and cannot exceed 49% of the Québec budget.
Telefilm Canada
• Supports the development of film production via assistance programs for development, production, marketing and distribution offered in the form of recoupable project investments, grants or refundable assistance.
• Administers international coproduction treaties and Canada-France mini-treaties (financial support for production of film coproduction projects).
• Administers the Canada Media Fund (for television and digital content projects).
• Promotes Canadian content on the international scene. www.telefilm.ca
TAX INCENTIVES
Quebec tax incentives
From 2004 to 2012, close to $70 million in support from Québec tax measures went towards coproduction in Québec. The Québec government contributed $287 million out of a total of $718 million in coproduction budgets.
22
Refundable tax credit for film and tele-vision production:

bonus for eligible labour expenses
• A minimum of 75% of goods and labour expenditures must be paid to companies and/or individuals residing in Québec.

BANKING SERVICES AND FINANCIAL TOOLS
Banking services in Québec are flexible and structured to service the film, television and multimedia industry with:
• a thorough knowledge of the industry; • available credit tailored to the industry’s specific cash
flows needs; • a wide range of tools available including interim finan-
cing, contract discounting, gap financing, etc.
