While TIFF: The Market will serve as the Alliance\u2019s central market activation in 2026, ICA members and Fellows will continue to engage with EFM as part of ongoing co-production, distribution, and sales pathways established over the past decade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Recognising the demand for short-form opportunities for Indigenous producers, the ICA will also attend the Clermont-Ferrand Short Film Market (France) for the first time.
