Screen Nova Scotia is raising concerns over the uncertainty surrounding President Donald Trump’s proposed 100 per cent tariff on foreign-made films.
The organization, which represents Nova Scotia’s film industry, warns that it could create significant challenges for Canadian productions.
The group explained that the lack of details on enforcement has left filmmakers unsure of how the policy could impact cross-border collaborations and market access.
Officials say there is stress among industry members, who rely on distribution agreements with U.S. studios.
Screen Nova Scotia is working with provincial and national stakeholders to assess the risks, focusing on potential disruptions to international partnerships and the future of Canadian content in the U.S. market.
With so many unanswered questions, the organization is encouraging its members to stay informed but avoid speculation.
Premier Tim Houston has expressed his support for the film industry, assuring that his government is committed to helping filmmakers adapt to the evolving situation.
Screen Nova Scotia has stated that updates will be provided only when fully confirmed, as the industry continues to seek clarity on the tariff’s impact.
