Masterworks
Education and Access Programs include the Masterworks program. Founded in 2000, Masterworks recognizes 12 culturally significant classics each year, drawn from the archives of the Canadian film, radio, television and music industries. Works are chosen because of their critical and popular success, or because they were seminal in their genre. The Masterworks program provides funding to support preservation of selected Masterworks and enhances access to works no longer in active distribution. [1]
