JUNE 5-8 FOTOFILMIC//VILLAGE SEMINARS

Type: Residencies, Workshops, Exchanges [View all]
Posted by: FOTOFILMIC
Deadline: Fri, March 31st, 2017

MARCH 31 REGISTRATION DEADLINE: http://fotofilmic.com/registration-village/

FotoFilmic//VILLAGE is a combined series of 3 high quality, small-group seminars designed as a 4-day retreat on Vancouver’s luxuriant Bowen Island (British Columbia, Canada) to boost the creative practice of growing photographers. Bringing together 3 widely acclaimed figures of contemporary photography and organized in 3 rotating groups (1 guest artist + 4 students) to maximize individual attention and deepen interaction down to each participant’s specific projects, these interlocking seminars cover a comprehensive area of practice from documentary photography to book making and career development to provide a strong advancement platform for any photographer committed to the medium.

Central to the “Village” concept is also to re-experience a kind of natural artistic conviviality lost to globalization and instant communication: our small Pacific island setting slows down social time and invites both the conversational and the personal to take part unscheduled making for meaningful one-on-one networking.

 

Scheduled from Monday, June 5 to Thursday, June 8, 2017, FotoFilmic//VILLAGE will give the opportunity to 12 photographers to meet and closely work with renowned guest artists MARK STEINMETZ, SHANE LAVALETTE & PAUL SCHIEK over the course of  4 consecutive days.

 

SEMINARS PROGRAM
– “The Lyrical Documentary” with photographer Mark Steinmetz
– “The Art of the Application” with Light Work Director Shane Lavalette
– “Image, Context and Sequence: Making a Photobook” with Paul Schiek founder of TBW Books
Participants navigate from group to group taking all 3 seminars at their preferred pace.

 

VILLAGE GROUP SHOW // JUNE 7-30, 2017 // PULP GALLERY
