The New Approaches programme, of which this Seminar is a part, aims to support talented filmmakers from a contemporary art background who are working on feature-length productions. The scheme helps to bridge the gap in provision for artist filmmakers whose training may have been very different from those coming from a more traditional filmmaking background. This event will be particularly useful for artists making long-form work or anyone with an interest in the intersection between fine art and cinema.
Tea and Coffee will be provided.
