November 8 - December 31, 2018



For more than 45 years, Vidéographe has embodied the deep commitment of bold and visionary artists. Throughout this time, you, our many members, friends and partners, have shared our vision and values and supported us as we evolved. Vidéographe’s story is also your own and we thank you warmly for your contribution to the dynamism of our community.

Vidéographe is a thriving centre dedicated to video whose cornerstones are: research, sharing, exposure and community. Thanks to our unceasing efforts in dissemination and conservation, the talent of the 800 artists that we distribute is showcased throughout the country and around the world.

The residency and training programs that we offer encourage experimentation and facilitate the sharing of expertise by offering increased opportunities for artists to meet. Vidéographe is convinced that opportunities for exchange and reflection are key in fostering the creative process, which is nourished over time and through experience.

Since its founding, the Centre has constantly adapted to technological innovation and the emergence of new artistic and sociological approaches in order to stay relevant. In this spirit, we have set up outreach and digital exploration activities for adolescents and young adults. These projects, developed in partnership with organizations Dans la rue, La Maison d’Haïti and the youth centre Le Beau Voyage, allow us to share our values and expand our vibrant community.

These activities have met with much success. In order to continue to develop them and to carry out our mission with passion, we need your help. You can support us by making a donation or by renewing your membership. We accept checks, debit/credit card, paypal, cash, or online paiement with Canadon.

SUPPORT YOUR ARTISTS CENTRE AND ITS PROJECTS BY MAKING A DONATION

Together, always! We invite you to support us so that the next 45 years can be as inspiring and visionary as the last 45 years have been. We turn to you, our partners, because we believe that you are best placed to assure our independence in supporting artists with authenticity and temerity.

Your support is a testament of your renewed commitment both to us and to our shared values.

May our community continue to flourish for a long time and together, always!

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.
