The Quebec provincial government and health officials have given the green light for film and TV production to resume on June 8 amid the coronavirus pandemic.
Provincial soundstages will be able to host movies and series production, and Montreal-based visual effects and postproduction houses may also resume full operation under social distancing guidelines.
The province is also investing $91.5 million in local media content as the sector resumes production. "The plan aims to stimulate artistic creation, revive the production of Quebec cultural content and allow the community to adapt to new ways of reaching out to the public, in the context of the current pandemic," the Quebec provincial government said in a statement.
