History
The Nova Scotia Ministers’ Task Force on the Film and Video Industry was created by a Memorandum to Policy Board in June 1983 as a joint task force of 3 Departments: Development, Transportation, and Culture, Recreation and Fitness. It was created in response to a proposal from the Atlantic Independent Film and Video Association (AIFVA) for a study of the film industry in Nova Scotia. The Task Force comprised 7 members – 3 from the film industry and 3 members from government – with Elizabeth Hanson, businesswoman in Dartmouth, appointed chairperson. Their mandate was to assess the strengths and weaknesses of the film and video industry in NS; examine the present and potential economic impacts; review the effects on industry of current production, distribution, and exhibition arrangements; analyze the effects of government policies and regulations; determine the national and international market outlook; and recommend policy and programs to develop the industry. The Task Force conducted research, met with major stakeholders, conducted 3 days of public hearings in Halifax, and received 23 written submissions. They presented their report of 34 recommendations to the Ministers on June 20, 1984 and then disbanded.
