Founded by veteran producer Rock Demers in 1980, Productions La Fête initially set out to produce a nine-film anthology of family movies. The extraordinary success of the early films, produced under the umbrella title of “Tales for All”, led to the expansion of the original production to twelve, and subsequently to fifteen titles…but that would not be the end! The 16th film, Dancing on the Moon, was released in 1998. My Little Devil in 2000, The Hidden Fortress in 2001, the musical comedy Regina in 2002, followed in 2004 by Summer with the Ghosts and Daniel and the Superdogs in 2005. Tocade & Fugue (working title) is now in post production and will be released worldwide summer of 2009.

Several titles in the Tales for All have gone on to become family classics, including The Dog Who Stopped the War and Tadpole and the Whale, (both winners of the Golden Reel Award for the highest Canadian box office gross in their first year in release) Similarly, there has been wide acclaim for titles such as Tommy Tricker and the Stamp Traveller and Bach and Broccoli, which was cited for excellence in children’s entertainment by UNESCO in 1994. The film Vincent and Me, shown on American television in 1992, won an Emmy Award for best film for young people.

To keep on going successfully, La Fête, through merchandising, has published novelizations of all its titles in its family film collection selling a total of over 500,000 copies in Canada only and continuing to sell year after year.

To date, La Fête has produced 29 feature films, some 50 hours of documentaries, 6 big budget prime time TV drama series or mini-series for worldwide television, and a twenty-six-half hour animation series Turtle Island.

In 2007-2008, La Fête produced Mission: MOVIES, a 26 half hour television series to initiate the 8-12 years old to the different trades of cinema, to be followed in 2009-2010 by another 26 half hour series titled Mission: MUSIC this time to initiate to the different trades of music showbiz.

From now on, La Fête will concentrate its activities on what has become its trademark: the production of high-quality non-violent films and television programs for children and family.
