CANADIAN INDEPENDENT MEDIA IN EDUCATION

The distribution of Canadian Independent film, video and media arts is increasingly challenged by large corporate video distribution platforms. This reality leaves many stories, histories and cultures of people from across Canada out of the classrooms. VUCAVU is hosting an English and French language symposium at the end of June 2023 to discuss the challenges of distributing and programming in educational settings. We are bringing together representatives from the academic and the media arts communities to find solutions, create connections and discuss our mutual concerns and goals for educational access.

ENGLISH SYMPOSIUM
TORONTO, JUNE 22-23, 2023

FRENCH SYMPOSIUM
MONTREAL, JUNE 26-27, 2023

PLEASE NOTE :
• Free event, In-Person or Virtual attendance (via Zoom)

• Live ASL and LSQ Interpretation will be provided on request.
