The Canadian Film Centre (CFC) is a charitable organization offering training in film, television and digital media. It is headquartered in Toronto, Ontario and was founded in 1998 by Norman Jewison[1]. Until 1992, the CFC was called The Canadian Centre for Advanced Film Studies.

CEO's

Since 2022

Maxine Bailey[2] was appointed CEO on April 29, 2021.[3] She took up the post on May 3, 2022.[4] She has expressed a preference for the avoidance of capital letters in her name, so in many sources, she is styled maxine bailey.[3] Bailey started her career in entertainment as a playwright and theatre producer.[4] She was a founding member of Black Artists Network in Dialogue (BAND). Bailey had started working at the Toronto International Film Festival in 2000, eventually becoming its Vice President in charge of government liasons.[5] According to Now magazine, Bailey is recognized as playing a key role in increasing TIFF's role as a prominent film festival, and in establishing a year-round presence for TIFF, in its youth out-reach programs, and in the construction of its beautiful King Street headquarters and theatre.[6] In 2017, Bailey launched the Share Her Journey initiative to encourage the sharing of women's stories.[5] Now magazine reported that bailey was inspired, in part, by then recently emerging accounts of sexual harrassment and sexual abuse by figures within the entertainment industry.[6] Bailey retired from TIFF in 2018, and spent the two years prior to her appointment to the Canadian Film Center, as an invited expert and judge at other film festivals.[5] In December 2019, Bailey was honored with a Special Jury Award of Distinction from the Women in Film and Television Toronto.[7] After her 2021 appointment as director of the CFC, Bailey went on record that she would continue to work towards gender equity in the film and television industry.[3][5]

Before 2022

Slawko Klymkiw is a Canadian philanthropist who was the CEO from 2005 until 2022[8][9] Prior to heading the CFC, Klymkiw was an executive at the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation.[10] Klymkiw joined the CBC in 1980, rising to assume the executive directorship of network programming in 1996.[11][12] Klymkiw is also an ex-officio member of the Toronto International Film Festival's Board of Directors.[13]
