The organization

The Academy of Canadian Cinema & Television is a national, non-profit professional association dedicated to promoting, recognizing, and celebrating outstanding achievements in film, television, and digital media across Canada. Founded in 1949, it has evolved into a unifying force representing all sectors of the screen-based industries, with an active Quebec chapter since 1986. The Academy notably administers the Gémeaux Awards, which celebrate excellence in French-language television production, as well as the Canadian Screen Awards, recognizing excellence at the national level. It plays a key role in showcasing talent and innovation while adapting to the ongoing transformation of the audiovisual industry.
