Filmmaker Call Out - Ideas: People: Places

Descriptions

Ideas: People: Places is an Arts Council of Wales 3 year national scheme of arts led regeneration taking place in 7 locations across Wales. The overall aim of Ideas: People: Places has been to embed the arts in a genuine and meaningful way into a number of imaginative, ambitious and innovative regeneration projects. IPP has enabled artistic practice to challenge a conventional sense of regeneration, architecture and design to influence the way that community space and local development is planned and managed.For links to the 7 IPP projects go to http://www.arts.wales/arts-in-wales/ideas-people-places The programme which began in 2014 is now moving towards the end with projects ending between February - July 2018.We’re looking to work with a filmmaker, filmmaking team or video production company for the remainder of the project (from February to August 2018) to capture the essence and learning of Ideas: People: Places. The process will be one of collaboration working with Arts Council of Wales and the IPP community to decide which content to capture and which themes to focus on. There are three distinct strands of work within this:- Working with projects to access exisiting film footage and photography of past activity (subject to quality of footage, permissions etc). Edit material to create a film archive of IPP and when possible draw from and use this footage in your filmmaking.- Follow the journey of IPP in it’s final 6 months, capturing key activities, lessons learnt and conducting interviews to produce a short film of 3-5 minutes.- Drawing from archives and your own footage, create a series of 10-15 case studies/thematic/interview film pieces.We’re looking for a filmmaker/filmmakers who can offer creative suggestions about how best to capture and share the different elements of our programme digitally.
