US EditionHow potential U.S. film tariffs could impact Canada’s film industry
- In 2025, U.S. President Donald Trump revealed intentions to implement a 100% tariff on any movies imported from countries outside the United States, with the Canadian film sector as a primary target.
- The tariffs arise amid ongoing trade tensions where Trump has imposed tariffs on Canadian goods like autos, steel, and aluminum, while Canadian film hubs benefit from competitive tax incentives attracting productions.
- Toronto and Vancouver top film production locations preferred by studio executives for 2025-2026, employing tens of thousands and generating billions in GDP, but face uncertainty from the tariff proposal.
- Cameron Bailey, TIFF chief, criticized the tariffs as harmful, stating they threaten creative cross-border collaboration and that Canada should remain a haven for talent amid global political pressures.
- The tariffs could disrupt the integrated North American film industry, prompt calls for stronger Canadian domestic support, and heighten disputes over policies like Canada's Online Streaming Act in Washington.
