NEA International Digital Film-maker Residency 2008
Application Deadline:
in-hand June 16, 2008
This four week National Endowment for the Arts funded residency
offers one month unlimited access to 16mm production and post-production
systems, the G5 Final Cut Pro digital editing system and digital video
cameras. The month-long residency includes lodging in a funky, nearby
hotel, travel, and a $1000 artist's stipend paid in two installments.
This Artist's Residency is directed toward experimental
filmmakers who are interested in using new technologies but lack
the resources for access and training. In addition to the artist completing
and exhibiting at least one new work, the terms of the residency include
teaching one local workshop (4 - 8 hours) on any topic related to media
art and curating one evening screening of films / videos which relate
to the resident's own creative investigations. The selected artist will
be notified by June 30, 2008 and may fulfill the terms of the residency
between August and November 2008.
