dbo:abstract The Federal Women's Film Program (FWFP) was created in 1980 by the Canadian government as a partnership of federal ministries and agencies to create and distribute films about the status of women. It was administered by Studio D and was in both French and English languages. Its creation was an attempt to address the “swelling demand for women-centered films and filmmaking opportunities”, as many female freelancers were becoming increasingly frustrated with the dozen staff members employed by Studio D who had the privilege of permanent positions. In 1987, the program was revived by executive producer i and was charged with “producing shorter, basic information films dealing with issues of immediate concern to Canadian women, including domestic violence, reproductive choice, career choice, health care, and aging”. A goal of the program was to direct more of Studio D's funds towards creative endeavours instead of being limited by distribution and other logistical details. The FWFP was associated with Studio D, but not part of its formal budgetary structure. Studio D provided leadership and personnel in developing FWFP, as well as sharing its physical space with the program. The National Film Board of Canada (NFB) matched funds provided by other federal departments to produce films related to women's issues. Some were internal training films, while others were related to important messages of each department's own goals. * Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada * Public Service Commission of Canada * Status of Women Canada * Environment Canada * Justice Canada * Health Canada - Seniors Secretariat - Family Violence - Prevention Division - Family and Child Health Programs * - Women's Program - Status of Disabled Persons Secretariat - Women's Bureau - Employment of Equity Branch * * - Entrepreneurship and Small Business Office - Federal Business Development Bank - Federal Office of Regional Development (Quebec) (en)
