Producing Artist Responsibilities

The Producing Artist's role in the three-week Documenting Engagement Institute is to participate in discussions, to develop skills in digital documentary video production and to produce a short video. The video will be about their work as an artist engaging with members of a community. The videos may address: the creation of a project; the pursuit and development of a community based arts practice; an artist's work as part of a particular community engaged artistic tradition; or, some other aspect of the artist's work with communities.

Before the 3 week institute:

• Create, collect and assemble documentary materials of your practice for potential inclusion in your video;
• Read and review reference materials package supplied in advance of the Institute;
• Provide information on your practice and a CV for inclusion on the website and for circulation to other participants.

During the Institute:

• Devote January 11 to 31 entirely to the Institute;
• Participate in discussions with other participants and senior artist/academics;
• Participate in one or more panels, philosopher cafes, and other format interactions with the public;
• Create (with the assistance of Pacific Cinémathèque technical support) a short documentary video about your practice in community based arts;
• Provide a written statement to accompany the video as well as summary artist background information for publication.

Following the Institute:

• Enter into a shared copyright agreement with Pacific Cinémathèque for the video that is produced—shared copyright is intended to allow each partner to use the video without the consent of the other party;
• Agree that information about the video (including selections from the video) can be published on the Institute website.
