But if they're successful they mean big money, Main ingredient needed now in Canada is financing. Canadian businessmen are hesitant about backing films, partly because they've been taken too many times by quick- talking, non-producing Ameri- can producers. In New York, Toronto became known as the sucker town. But three banks have backed films, and a few with luck there will soon be small - scale Cana- tion of feature films and television series. The future depends in large part on the outcome of work berge, missioner and head of the Na- tional Film Board, assigned late last year to draw up rec- ommendations for the govern- ment on ways to assist the in- dustry, possibly with subsidies, loans or legislation. Some film folk admit it is difficult. to picture the govern- ment handing out subsidies. Suggestions on legislating Ca- nadian-content rules for distri- butors similar to requirements governing television program- ming raise fears of retaliation from the U.S. industry. Most producers seem to favor a gov- 'the attitude. | A problem to be overcome once the features have been produced is to get them shown. The US. industry's control over distribution and exhibiting 'i'could create complications. (Generally, the Canadian mar- ket is worth about five per cent of the English-speaking world.) Although the most ambitious feature productions are being originated by English - Cana- dians, it's the French - Cana- dians who have been the busi- est in the last year, both in production and in seeking gov- ernment support. They have turned out about five low-bud- get features and are either planning or producing triple that number.
