Independent work, for the purposes of this program, means work where the director retains full editorial control and copyright.
    • Eligible applicants must have a history of public presentation for their independent film and/or video work (selected by a third-party professional programming/curatorial process), spanning a minimum of five years – at recognized film festivals, art galleries, broadcasters, artist-run centres, cinematheques, independent cinemas, etc. Applicants should demonstrate this eligibility through both their résumé and their statement of recently completed artistic work.
    • Applicants should be able to articulate self-directed development work that they seek to engage in over a four to five month period supported by this award, including any project-related expenses. Examples of self-directed development work include – but are not limited to – research, experimentation, script writing and process-based development.
    • Applicants must be Canadian citizens or permanent residents, and have lived in Manitoba for at least one year prior to submitting an application for this award.
    • Applicants must be 18 years of age and over and cannot be full time students.

THE SELECTION PROCESS

The award recipient will be selected by a committee of experienced independent filmmakers and other professionals in the field, such as programmers, curators and arts administrators. The committee will base its decision on the following criteria:

    • The historic artistic achievement of the filmmaker, as demonstrated by a history of professional presentation and awards and other distinctions, as well as the overall quality of their body of work.
    • The artistic merit of the self-directed work proposed and its connection to the filmmaker’s artistic career trajectory.
    • The capacity of the resources of this award to assist the filmmaker in their overall career development objectives.
