Technical Support Program

Call for submissions

Open at all times



Application Deadline:

Open at all times.

 

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. The kind of support offered is tailored to each project depending on the project’s specific pre-defined needs. This support can be used in the research phase, the production phase or in the post-production phase of a project.

 

Artists selected under this program have free access to:

Vidéographe’s editing suites, sound booth, digitizing equipment, and analog and digital video equipment up to a value of 500$. Should the project require additional support thereafter a preferential rate will be applied. Please note that artists are expected to be self-sufficient as Vidéographe’s team can only offer limited hands-on technical support.

 

Artists can also benefit from up to two meetings with Vidéographe’s team to discuss the project and to receive feedback. These meetings could be with different members of the team depending on how far along the project is and on the specific needs of the project and the artist.

 

Eligibility:

Vidéographe is 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.

 

  • 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 embraces the notion of an intellectual community enriched by diversity along many axes, including race, indigeneity, ethnicity, trans/nationality, gender identity and expression, sexual orientation, class, age, religion, ability, and neurodiversity.

 

Evaluation criteria:

Proposals are evaluated on the following criteria:

  • Contribution of the Technical Support Program to project’s development.
  • Thoroughness and relevance of research.
  • Innovative character of the project.

 

Selection process:

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

 

Submissions:

Applications must include the following:

  • The candidate’s contact information and website (if applicable).
  • An artist statement (max 300 words)
  • A project description (max 500 words)
  • A schedule including the overall project timeline and detailed timeline for the Technical Support Program.
  • Technical requirements (please consult our website for more details on our editing suites and equipment).
  • The candidate’s CV (max 3 pages).

Applications will be accepted by email only. Please send your file as a SINGLE PDF document including links to videos and other visual support material (max 25MB). Incomplete applications will not be considered nor will files found in the text section of the email.

 

Please write technical support program in the subject heading of your email and send your application to info@videographe.org. An acknowledgment of receipt will be sent within 1 week of receipt.

 

Note that 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 up to six months to take advantage of the benefits that this program has to offer. Regular membership fees are $50 + taxes per year and student membership fees are $25 + taxes per year.

 

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.

 

For equity reasons, should you require any accommodations or need to submit your application in an alternative format, please contact the program coordinator at info@videographe.org or at (514) 521-2116 ext: 221.

 

Please allow six weeks for a response. Please note that Vidéographe can only support a limited number of projects per year.
