FUNDRAISER CAMPAIN

November 8 - December 31, 2019



Since 1971, Vidéographe has been a prolific artist-run centre in which artists of different generations and backgrounds have gathered, experimented, supported and taught each other. Bold and socially engaged, you members, friends and partners have forged its vision and values. We warmly thank you for your contribution to the Centre’s development and to the vitality of its community. We are extremely proud to share this history with you.

For nearly 50 years, the Centre has distinguished itself through its leadership, its collaborative spirit, and its ability to anticipate and adapt to changes in its milieu in order to support artists the best way possible.

In this spirit, over recent years, we have developed new approaches to showcasing works by the 800 artists that we distribute. New residency programs have been established to support research and creation, as well as mediation programs, through which we share our passion with adolescents and young adults.

Over the next year, our new digital publications will celebrate the work of artists and pay homage to key figures in moving image practices.

In order to continue to carry out our mission with vigour, we need your help. Your support is testimony to your renewed commitment to Vidéographe and to our shared values. We accept donations by cheque, cash, debit and credit cards, and paypal as well as via our page CanaDon. As Vidéographe is a recognized charity, tax receipts will be issued to you for all donations over $20.

 

 

Always, together! This is an invitation to renew your commitment to Vidéographe so that the coming years can be as inspirational and visionary as those that we have already shared. We hope that you can lend your support and help us to realize our ambitious goals, which are entirely driven by a desire to support artists and rooted in a love for the moving image.

May our community continue to resonate, for a long time to come.

Technical Support Program

Call for submissions

Deadline : March 1st, 2022



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.
