Alberta government announces updates to film and television support programs

The province is making major investments in Alberta’s film and television industry.

As part of Budget 2026, $60 million is being invested through Alberta’s Film and Television Tax Credit, while $8 million is being invested through the Alberta Media Fund.

As the 2026 Banff World Media Festival wraps up, the province has announced they will be bringing the FTTC and the AMF together under the Ministry of Arts, Culture, and Status of Women and expanding the FTTC to include unscripted television and game shows to increase the incentive to film here.

“The Banff World Media Festival highlights the strength of Alberta’s screen sector and the talent behind it,” says Tanya Fir, Minister of Arts, Culture, and Status of Women. “Our government is supporting this key industry by expanding the FTTC to include unscripted television and game shows, a change that will create jobs and diversify Alberta’s economy.”
