As part of its Mediation and Digital Exploration Program, Vidéographe is offering a collaborative artistic program free of charge to young adults (18 to 25 years) from ethnocultural communities in partnership with community organization La Maison d’Haïti.

Over the course of 12 workshops, participants will collaborate to design and produce an immersive audio-visual work. This research and creation program, which addresses issues linked to creation and collective identity, will be made up of three stages: conceptualization, exploration/production, and post-production. The workshops will be led by professional Montréal-based artists selected for their ability to convey their knowledge and expertise. A range of areas will be covered, including screen writing, staging, directing, 360-degree video recording, sound design with digital tools, and video editing. The project will conclude with a public presentation of the works during which the participants will share their thoughts and discoveries.

Guaranteed to be a rewarding experience for those who are interested in learning about media arts!

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)

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.

DESCRIPTION

This online video club is part of Villa Verticale’s ongoing program Trajectoire, aménagement et genius loci. The center has invited artists Miri Chekhanovich and Marie Samuel Levasseur to co-host the meetings. The Reading Club and Video Club provide an opportunity to discuss texts and works that are important to each artist’s practice. The video program is composed by the two artists and is available free of charge on Vithèque.

 

PROGRAM

  • The Fourfold, Alisi Telengut, 2020, 7 min 14 s
  • Migrer le musée, Nayla Dabaji, 2021, 14 min 12 s
  • Still Pina, Claudie Lévesque, 2018, 5min
  • c’t’aujourd’hui qu’, Manon Labrecque, 1999, 17 min 15 s
  • Le combat quotidien des victimes du travail, Ève Lamont

This program, a collaboration between the two organizations, is designed to enhance this summer’s club season. The selected videos are curated from the Vidéographe collection, reflecting the in-depth research conducted by both curators.

The Clubs are informal seminars set in natural environments, such as riverbanks and studios, where artists, writers, and researchers come together. These gatherings focus on shared conceptual and artistic challenges, allowing participants and the public to exchange readings and expertise from various disciplines.

 

That the places we pass through and that pass through us – those inhabited, stolen, occupied, forgotten, abandoned, unplanned, transformed, dreamed of, developed, (re)activated – be considered in all their complexity.

 

QUOTES FROM THE CURATORS:

Meditating on my personal journey, I wish to share with the Clubs texts and videos that inspire me, that help me navigate my quest for home, to create and live in a perpetual state of transition.

– Miri Chekhanovich

 

My participation in the Clubs will be informed by my vision of art as a terrain of self-determination, hospitality, and well-being.

– Marie Samuel Levasseur
