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!

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)

  • 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.

  • 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.

Recipient of the 2025 REW/FF Residency: Ylenia Olibet

Curatorial Residency for Emerging Curators and Programmers – Vithèque

2025



We are delighted to announce that Ylenia Olibet has been selected as the recipient of our 2025 REW/FF residency.

Ylenia Olibet is a researcher and educator who has been based in Montréal since 2016. She is currently a postdoctoral fellow at McGill University. Her work explores how audiovisual archives can inspire social movements, with a focus on transnational and decolonial perspectives, as well as feminist and queer approaches to film culture in Francophone contexts.

Ylenia holds a PhD in Film Studies from Concordia University. In August 2023, she defended her dissertation titled “Feminist Film Culture in 21st-Century Québec: A Transnational Perspective.” Her doctoral and postdoctoral research has been supported by the Fonds de Recherche du Québec. Her writings have been published in Feminist Media Studies, Feminist Media Histories, Mai: Journal of Feminist Visual Culture, European Journal of Women’s Studies, and several edited volumes.

During her curatorial residency at Vidéographe, Ylenia will develop a reflection on the city of Montréal. How does Vidéographe’s collection document the city’s urban transformations? Her project aims to examine the social construction of space through material issues—such as gentrification or the environmental crisis—while considering the urban landscape as a lens for thinking about resistance beyond fixed territorial and identity frameworks.
