About the organization
The Filmmaker Assistance Program (FAP) is an initiative of the National Film Board of Canada (NFB), a public film producer and distributor founded in 1939. FAP provides technical and post-production support to independent Canadian filmmakers, enabling them to complete films that might otherwise remain unfinished due to financial or logistical constraints. The program reflects the NFB's enduring commitment to fostering diverse voices and innovative storytelling within the Canadian film landscape.
