Dept.9 Studios is proud to return to the Banff World Media Festival (BANFF) - a premier global event where television, digital media, and film industry leaders gather to spark innovation, build relationships, and shape the future of screen storytelling.
Held in the heart of the Canadian Rockies, BANFF has been a vital meeting ground for over 45 years, attracting top creators, decision-makers, and thought leaders from more than 50 countries. It’s where creative deals are struck, new voices are discovered, and the future of entertainment takes shape.
This year, we’re excited to be sponsoring and attending The Co-Financing & Commissioning Panel - a powerhouse session featuring global buyers and producers discussing what it takes to get premium content off the ground in today’s complex funding landscape. These are the conversations that matter most to independent studios and content creators looking to scale their vision.
We’re also proud sponsors of the festival’s closing party, Alberta, Fill Yer Boots - a celebration of the creativity, resilience, and unique energy that defines both Alberta’s screen industry and the broader BANFF community. As an Alberta-based studio, this one’s close to home - and close to our hearts.
We look forward to connecting with new and familiar faces at BANFF 2025. See you there!
