  • Annual Report |2016
    Annual report | 2016 $500 million Commitment worth celebrating! Marking our $500,000,000 milestone in financing for Canada’s independent television & film community Proud to support Canadian television & film — and even prouder of the results Half a billion … and counting As industry insiders, we know just how much work — and money — it takes to create great television and film. So in 1980, we launched our first fund to support Canada’s independent producers. Since then, we’ve invested a total of $532,039,665 in nearly 2,000 productions via four different funds and programs. And while we’re tremendously proud of that contribution, we’re even prouder of the results. Many of these productions have attracted critical acclaim and awards, including Emmys, Rockies and fistfuls of Geminis, Genies and Canadian Screen Awards. They’ve premiered at Cannes, TIFF and Sundance and been broadcast around the world. Most importantly, they’ve contributed to a rich and diverse Canadian culture. In 2016, we committed $28.2 million in 113 productions that ran the gamut from serious to seriously entertaining: from exposés and insight-packed documentaries to edgy comedy and absorbing dramas. Now, thanks to recent changes to the CRTC rules governing Certified Independent Producer Funds, we’ll have the flexibility to support an even broader range of productions, including co-ventures. At the Rogers Group of Funds, we believe in supporting great television and film. It’s why we’ve invested more than half a billion dollars to date. And it’s why we’ll continue to offer Canadian independent producers a vital source of funding in the years to come.

  • Alice Cooper
    Super Duper Alice Cooper Shock rocker, golfer, night-time DJ, loving husband and doting father. The former Vincent Furnier is a man at peace with himself. But what a remarkable journey it took young Vincent to reach this point. Super Duper Alice Cooper is the story of Vincent Furnier, preacher’s son, who struck fear into the hearts of parents everywhere as Alice Cooper, the ultimate rock star of the bizarre. From the advent of Alice as frontman for a group of Phoenix freaks in the sixties to the hazy decadence of celebrity in the seventies to the winking comeback as glam metal godfather in the eighties, one will watch in wonder as Alice and Vincent battle for each other’s souls. Super Duper Alice Cooper is told in the form of a “doc opera”, a dizzying blend of documentary and rock opera that combines audio interviews with a bounty of Alice Cooper archive footage. Concerts, TV appearances, movie cameos, newspaper headlines, magazine spreads and many other visual elements have been cut out, layered and collaged like a cinematic View-Master. Alongside the hits that defined an era, overlooked gems of Alice Cooper’s oeuvre have been dug up and melded into montages that soundtrack his life. Footage from old scary movies serve as allegories for Alice’s madness. The film touches on all the major highlights in Alice Cooper’s evolution; the 7am audition for Frank Zappa; the Chicken Incident; posing for Salvador Dali; the Hollywood Bowl triumph where a helicopter dropped “panties” on thousands of fans; his appearance on the Muppets; and many more, including all the choppings, hangings and mutilations that thrilled a generation of kids.
