The financial difficulties linked to the export activities of distributor h264’s films, reported by The Pressraised a wave of sympathy in the film industry.
The Quebec Minister of Culture and Communications, Mathieu Lacombe, offered to financially help the Quebec company in order to ensure its activities until next summer.
“These are dynamic young people who have a business that does not necessarily correspond to the financing programs, but a business that stands out, that shines and that we need to face the challenges of the future, so I confirmed to them that we were going to help them financially to get through to the summer. We are talking about an amount of approximately $45,000. »
h264 also received the support of the Regroupement des distributors nationaux de films du Québec, which requested an emergency meeting with the institutions concerned, notably Telefilm Canada and Canadian Heritage.
