Just as no one would considera Canadian film, despite it being helmed by James Cameron, the favourite son of Kapuskasing, Ont.This is also why you don’t see any of the films mentioned above up for nominations at this year’s Canadian Screen Awards, as much as the Academy of Canadian Cinema & Television and its broadcasting partner the CBC would love to have some celebrities on hand for this year’s gala.
Under the current CRTC rules, a Canadian production can only qualify for financial incentives, including tax breaks, if it has Canadians in key creative positions and is at least 75 per cent financed by Canadians or Canadian companies that retain the IP rights.
