LATEST ON NBFILM STATUS
A committee [of members of Media NB, other producers in New Brunswick and specific people within government] has met three times and the next meeting is scheduled for the 12th of July. There is some progress being made in that we are still in business. The government is working with us to have an interim plan that answers the needs of NB producers in the immediate future. There are funds available for new productions that answer the normal requirements for any NB productions. Details are being worked on and a date for an official announcement with the final details that is yet to be announced. It is overall good news for the producers but there is much work to be done as yet.

BIG NEWS FROM MONCTON BASED PHARE EST
The NB French television series Belle-Baie has won the 2011 Prix Acadie-Quebec award from the Standing Committee of Dialogue between Acadie and Quebec. Congratulations to Phare Est who produces this series annually.
La production télévisuelle et la chanson francophone sont à l’honneur. La télésérie Belle-Baie et le festival Coup de cœur francophone ont été sélectionnés à titre de lauréats du Prix Acadie-Québec 2011 par la Commission permanente de concertation entre l’Acadie et le Québec. Ces deux candidatures reçoivent cette distinction en raison du resserrement des liens culturels entre l’Acadie et le Québec qu’elles génèrent et leur contribution à la promotion d’une meilleure connaissance mutuelle entre Acadiens et Québécois.
