The Newfoundland and Labrador Film Development Corporation (NLFDC) was established by the provincial government in 1997. The mandate of this corporation is to foster and promote the development and growth of the film and video industry in Newfoundland and Labrador, and to increase the national and international visibility of Newfoundland and Labrador as a filming location.
The NLFDC administers two main programs: the Equity Investment Program and the Film and Video Industry Tax Credit. The programs are designed to assist and promote the development of the indigenous film and video industry in Newfoundland and Labrador as well as to attract outside production to the province.
The Equity Investment Program is an equity fund that can provide financing for up to 20% of the budget of a film or television production. Outside producers can access the funds by co-producing with a Newfoundland and Labrador producer.
The Newfoundland and Labrador Film and Video Industry Tax Credit is a fully refundable corporate income tax credit administered by the NLFDC for the Newfoundland and Labrador Department of Finance. The program encourages the development, training and hiring of Newfoundland and Labrador film personnel in all disciplines. The credit is based on a calculation of eligible labour limited to the lesser of 25% of the total eligible budget or 40% of the total eligible labour expenditures.
The NLFDC also provides sponsorship and travel assistance, responds to locations inquiries, coordinates professional development initiatives and assists in facilitating co-productions.
