The objects of the corporation are to assist and promote the development of the private-sector film and video industry in the areas of funding, marketing, promotion, training and education; to create and stimulate employment and investment and encourage the making of film and video productions in Nova Scotia; to assist and coordinate the giving of financial or other assistance by any Government departments, boards, commissions or agencies to the provincial film and video industry; to coordinate the provision of any financial or other assistance by any departments, boards, commissions or agencies from other jurisdictions to the film and video industry; to encourage and promote public acquisition of the Province's film and video heritage from the private sector; and to administer the Nova Scotia Film Development Corporation Fund, which not only benefits local private-sector film and video producers but also supports the making of film and video productions locally. In 2008 the crown corporation's name was changed to Film Nova Scotia.
