Deadline: 19/04/2010
The Liaison of Independent Filmmakers of Toronto (LIFT) offers to international artists for 4–6 week individual production residencies to take place between fall 2010 and summer 2011.
LIFT is a member-driven non-profit organization that provides affordable access to equipment, education and community for those who want to make film based works, out of a passion for, and commitment to the practice of filmmaking.
LIFT’s residency program focuses on the production of film-based works with equipment and facilities to which the artist would not have access in their local region. Artists are expected to be at an established point in their practice (although not necessarily working predominantly with film).
Grant
* the maximum cash funding for projects is $3,000 (CND) for travel, accommodation and per diems;
* equipment and facilities will be provided by LIFT to a maximum of $3,000 (CDN);
* the artist is responsible for the costs of all film stock, chemicals, lab fees and other expendables.
Application procedure
All interested artists should submit proposals, including:
1. Proposal/Artist statement (including how they intend to engage the local community during their stay and how LIFT might help create access to equipment or facilities not available at their home location)
2. Curriculum vitae
3. Proposed budget (including funding sources for materials)
4. Visual support material of past work (do not send originals, documentation will not be returned)
The applications need to be submitted to following the address:
Liaison of Independent Filmmakers of Toronto (LIFT)
1137 Dupont Street
M6H 2A3 Toronto, Ontario
Canada
Submissions must be received no later than Monday, April 19, 2010.
