[Frameworks] Atelier 105: Open call for experimental film projects

[Mariya Nikiforova]

*ATELIER 105*
*Video post-production residency*


*CALL FOR PROJECTSFIRST COMMISSION OF 2023*

In October 2014, Light Cone introduced artist residencies dedicated to the
video-based post-production of films that fall within the realm of
experimental cinema, with the aim of supporting approximately 10 projects
per year.

A fully equipped workspace located in Light Cone's facilities gives artists
access to a film scanner for the digitization of 16mm and 35mm film, an
editing station, sound mixing hardware and software, a color-correction
monitor and dedicated computers for encoding video files and DCPs, as well
as a 4K digital projector for previewing the edit and color grading on the
big screen. This equipment has been assembled by professionals to allow
filmmakers to have the best possible tools at their disposal.

The residency is intended for the work-flow of experimental filmmakers,
and, therefore, eligibility criteria are deliberately kept open. Short-,
medium-, as well as feature-length films are welcome, on the condition that
shooting is completed and editing is already advanced. The residency aims
to support projects currently in progress; therefore, proposals to re-grade
older films will not be considered. While the project must fit within the
category of experimental cinema, no other criteria (length, nationality of
filmmaker, etc.) will be imposed.

Light Cone's technical manager, *Clovis Stocchetti*, who is specialized in
digital post-production, is on hand to assist the filmmaker. Filmmakers are
free to work alone or accompanied by their technicians. At the beginning of
the residency, the technical manager can offer training in the available
software. If necessary, he can advise selected filmmakers in advance to
make sure their projects are compatible with Light Cone’s software.

One of our main goals is to facilitate exchange, to share experience and to
create a productive working environment for filmmakers. Beyond technical,
logistical, and practical assistance, the Light Cone team (made up of
filmmakers and/or programmers) also aims to offer artistic guidance and to
offer a genuine platform for experimental creation. Filmmakers are
encouraged to consult with our team concerning technical or artistic issues
as well as general advice and to show them the different stages of the
project.

The selection committee is composed of four permanent Light Cone members:
  - *Gisèle Rapp-Meichler*, president
  - *Emmanuel Lefrant*, director
  - *Eleni Gioti*, co-director
  - *Mariya Nikiforova*, coordinator of Atelier 105
and two external members who are picked among the programmers or filmmakers
working with Light Cone (their mandate cannot be renewed).
The external committee members for the first session of 2023 are:
  - *Manuela de Laborde*, filmmaker and artist
  - *Stanley Schtinter*, artist, filmmaker, programmer and founder of the
label purge.xxx

The filmmakers-in-residence have full access to Light Cone's documentation
center and screening room during their residency.

A Scratch/Atelier 105 public screening is organized annually with a
selection of the films produced during the residencies. The films shown are
selected according to their length, genre and the possible dialogues
between them.

This program offered by Light Cone seeks to give filmmakers access to
professional post-production facilities that are often out of their reach,
while welcoming them to an alternative space for artistic creation based on
experimentation and exchange.
