Montreal movie producers warn Trump's foreign film tariff could devastate industry | CBC News

Montreal's film industry is facing higher costs due to a 25% U.S. tariff on aluminum imported from Canada. This impacts the construction of sets, which often use aluminum. The tariff was implemented during the Trump administration and remains in effect. Industry professionals are concerned it will make producing films more expensive. Despite the challenge, local filmmakers are adapting by finding alternative materials or solutions to manage costs. The Quebec government has been urged to help mitigate the impact on the film industry.
