Yukon’s media production industries are essential to the diversification of Yukon’s economy and provide a wide range of career opportunities that inform and entertain, incorporating both creativity and innovation.
Our government is committed to supporting Yukon’s media industries as part of a sustainable and competitive Yukon economy. The Available Light Film Festival Industry Forum provides an excellent opportunity for Yukon’s content creators to participate in sessions with industry professionals. It also provides important networking opportunities for Yukon producers with industry professionals from across Canada and parts of the United States. Our thanks to all of the organizers and volunteers who have worked tirelessly to make this year’s event possible.

As always, this year’s ALFF Industry Conference aims to develop Yukon filmmakers’ skills as producers and directors, create new networking opportunities, and inspire creators. We’re excited to welcome more than 40 visiting guests who will gain first-hand knowledge and understanding of Yukon culture, its filmmakers, and the stories and experiences that make this region so unique. This year we have guests representing all regions of Canada (it’s been awhile since we’ve welcomed someone from the east coast!) as well as the United States and Finland. This year is also a special year for ALFF Industry as it is our 10th anniversary as part of the festival! The conference features sessions on narrative filmmaking, interprovincial co-productions, festival strategy, financing and networking. We’re really pleased to be welcoming representatives from Bell Fund, Rogers Group of Funds and documentary Channel who have never before visited ALFF. Welcome. The conference will also feature a keynote address from dynamic speaker and author Richard Van Camp whose film, Three Feathers, kicks of 10 magical days of cinema. The Yukon is home to some of the most remarkable stories in the world. It’s a place of plentiful talent and passionate storytellers. The northern film scene may be small by comparison to other parts of Canada, but it is strong and vibrant. Yukon filmmakers continue to receive recognition on the national and international stage and we’re pleased to offer them continuing professional development opportunities at ALFF Industry. Enjoy the festival and conference! Vivian Belik ALFF Industry Producer
