This course will be given in French on English-language software.

The following areas will be covered:

– Basic adjustments such as speed, image size, and color configurations;
– Distinguishing between RVB, RAW or ACES, understanding LUTs (Lock-Up-Table), and the three main variants in signals saved with contemporary cameras;
– A general overview of the software’s various options and personalization possibilities;
– Importing and cataloguing filmed images, managing multicams and audio synchro, and backing up discs or memory cards;

–Managing tools for editing, image modification, transitions, titles, and inserting external modules (Plugins);

– Introduction to the software’s main colorization functions, how to manage Nodes, working in primary and secondary mode, Power Windows and its tracker, and additional effects on the image (Grain, glow, defocus…) as well as how to manage color memory banks and how to use four levels of color correction;

– Managing formats for a finished product as well as formats for exporting images pre- or post-colorization.

The first day of the course will be mainly given over to theoretical instruction and on the second day practical exercises will be carried out.

CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS

Deadline : March 1st, 2021

* New: 4 calls for submissions per year

Program description

The Technical Support Program is intended to support artists interested in experimentation and in pushing the boundaries of the moving image in all its forms.
This support can be used in the production phase of the project or in the post-production phase.

A total of 4 calls for submissions per year will be made, for which the following are the deadlines;

  • March 1st (for projects that will start between April and June)
  • June 1st (for projects that will start between July and September)
  • September 1st (for projects that will start between October and December)
  • December 1st (for projects that will start between January and March)

Please note that 2 projects per call for submissions will be selected.

Artists selected under this program have free access to:

  • Our editing suites, sound booth and digitizing equipment for a maximum of two weeks. These two weeks can be contiguous or spread over 3 months.
  • Free access to available equipment belonging to Vidéographe.
  • Two meetings with Vidéographe’s team to discuss the project and its circulation potential: one meeting at the start of the project in order to specify the needs and a second meeting at the end of the project.
  • The possibility of organizing a private screening at Vidéographe.

It is not necessary to be a member of Vidéographe to apply; however, should your proposal be accepted, we will ask that you become a member. Once you have signed the agreement, you will have three months to take advantage of the benefits that this program has to offer. Regular membership fees are $50 + tx per year and student membership fees are $25 + tx per year.

We are looking to support independent experimental or documentary works that stand apart for their currency and endeavour to renew the artistic language. We will accept proposals for single-channel video, installation, Web-based work, and all other forms of moving image. We consider all genres—video art, experimental work, fiction, documentary or essay form, animation, dance video, and videoclip. Please note that all works must be independent and non-commercial. Projects of a conventional nature, such as classic short narrative film or television documentary will not be considered.

Once your project is finished, you may submit it for active distribution by Vidéographe. Please note however that acceptance into the Technical Support Program does not guarantee that your work will be distributed.

Required

  • Candidates must possess full editorial and creative control of the project.
  • Projects must be independent and non-commercial.
  • Projects that have received support through this program may not be re-submitted.
  • Student projects are not admissible.
  • We encourage traditionally under-represented artists to submit a project. Vidéographe is driven by the conviction that multiple points of views are necessary to enrich society and the discipline we work in.

Selection process

Works will be chosen by a selection committee made up of Vidéographe staff and members.

Projects that are retained will be subject to a contractual agreement between the artist and Vidéographe. Schedules, revised budgets, and requirements regarding equipment, rooms, and technical support will be planned and clearly laid out, as will the terms and conditions relative to each party.

PROGRAMMING

April 29, 2025 at 7 pm
Cinéma Moderne



Vidéographe invites film buffs to a screening of First Works, a program bringing together the first short films of recognized artists in the film industry. The event will include a discussion with several guest filmmakers, including Chloé Leriche, Marie-Josée Saint-Pierre, Anne Émond, Alexa-Jeanne Dubé and Étienne Lacelle.

Through the programming of these nine films made between 1988 and 2019, Vidéographe celebrates the importance of audacity and experimentation in the journey of several unique voices in Quebec and Canadian cinema. From fiction to animation and documentary, these short films demonstrate deliberate risk-taking in terms of form, themes addressed, production methods and technologies used.
