=== Screen Industries Research and Training Center (SIRT) ===
Opened at Pinewood Toronto Studios in 2010, Screen Industries Research and Training Center (SIRT) is a [[digital media]] [[sound stage]] and [[post-production]] facility that focuses on [[Two-dimensional|2D]] and [[3-D film|3D]] [[stereoscopic]] production processes. SIRT was conceived and launched by Sheridan College to operate in connection to the creative industries and three levels of the [[Canadian government]]. The Center's stated mission is to conduct high-level research on film, digital cinema, and [[high-definition video|high-definition]] technologies in all levels of production and display. The [[University of Waterloo]] announced in July 2010 that funding was awarded for joint research between their film department and SIRT.<ref name="nsercmedia">{{cite news|url=http://www.nserc-crsng.gc.ca/Media-Media/NewsRelease-CommuniqueDePresse_eng.asp?ID=143|title=Government of Canada helps colleges get research results out into their communities|date=June 18, 2009|publisher=Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada|access-date=February 25, 2011}}</ref>
