Do you want to screen artists’ films at your venue but aren’t sure how to go about it? Do you want to develop an audience for artists’ moving image? Do you want to know how to source artists’ films?
The Independent Cinema Office presents two essential training days aimed at cinemas, galleries and mixed arts venues who want to initiate or develop a programme of artists’ moving image.
The one-day courses are independent but complementary, structured so you can choose to attend either one or both days.
Developing Audiences for Artists' Moving Image
The Carriageworks, 31 October 2007
- Brief history of artists’ moving image
- Thinking differently about your audience and how to engage them
- What networks can you best use to promote your programme?
- Your marketing materials
Curating Artists' Moving Image
Cornerhouse, 27 November 2007
- Artists film and the differences for distribution and exhibition
- Sourcing work: distributors, agencies and galleries
- Rights clearance + technical considerations
- Working with artists
- Developing your programme
Each course will include presentations, case studies and group discussion, as well as the opportunity for individual consultation on your own projects and plans. You will learn foolproof strategies first-hand from recognised experts who have years of experience in curating, marketing and audience development for artists’ moving image. By the end of the day you will have identified achievable objectives for development at your own organisation.
This project is funded by Arts Council England. With thanks to the generous support of Cornerhouse.
