Submission of a project to Atelier Graphoui’s Selection

Atelier Graphoui’s objective is to host and help young authors, filmmakers, artists and producers in the realization of their film. We support original artwork that is based on research and experimentation. We pay special attention to projects that are breaking the boundaries of the medium and mixing genres. In order to better understand our sensibilities and artistic approaches, consult our online film catalogue and ongoing projects.

Atelier Graphoui commits to support each project, with all its uncertainties and early failures. We are present from the beginning and will continue through the maturation process, and until its finalization. Contact us as early as possible on the project. Before submitting any project, you can get in touch with the production manager. At that point, our objective is to anticipate the number of applications we will examine, and to redirect the requests that don’t fit in to our structure as soon as possible.

CONTACT : Ellen Meiresonne – em (at) graphoui.org

CALENDAR :

The next projet’s submission to Atelier Graphoui’s Selection is scheduled in the end of January 2024.

Ellen Meiresonne – em (at) graphoui.org

The Atelier Graphoui (located in Brussels, Belgium) is an audiovisual laboratory open to experimentation and research, hosting and supporting film directors who advocate a peculiar cinematographic language whose creative field resides on the fringes of style and form.

Since the 1990s, the Atelier Graphoui has collaborated with partners and plastic artists having a video practice in the African continent. In 2016, this relationship led us to become one of the seven Belgian cultural operators’ partners of Africalia for their Programme Belgique. Within the framework of this collaboration, we host 1 sub-Saharan African artist in residency each year, with hopes that the interactions between the African artists in residency and the local artists will nurture an additional mutual richness that will generate new dynamics, collaborations and artistic inspirations.

From 2021, the residency will be organized in parallel with a residency for 1 Afrodescendant audiovisual artist living in Belgium.

Residencies imply the provision of an appropriate space (the access to the rostrum, the mounting table 35 mm, professional softwares…), an individual support of the project, including the plane ticket, the visa and other expenses related to the residency.

CRITERIAS

– The author(s) must reside in sub-saharan Africa.
– Creations including moving images in a cross-genre approach and with a hold on the real world will be given priority: animated short film, experimental film (no fictions, no videoclips)

REQUIRED DOCUMENTS

Your request will take the form of a max 8 minutes filmed recording and a file of max 10 pages, sent in .pdf format to the following address : projet (at) graphoui.org

What is important is to give us a preview of your project.

The file must include :

– The information sheet to be completed (link here), in French, resuming your full details as well as those of your partners, and some informations about the projet ;
– Your clear demand addressed to the Atelier Graphoui : the reasons why you think our atelier could be useful to you ;
– A brief summary of the project (1page maximum) ;
– A letter of intention explaining your personal motivation (what is the connection between the author and his/her project and his/her point of view) ;
– A memo presenting yours intentions in terms of form with regard to the content of the project ;
– A memo on the project feasibility (agenda, modalities, process, planned collaborators and partners, potential funding…) ;
– The author and producer’s CV …

The film recording :

We also ask you to send us a film recording of maximum 8 minutes, in which you explain who you are, as well as your project and its concrete development, content and form. Keep it short and to the point (pitch), but don’t hesitate to include your own personal style. You can send an .mp4 file via the e-mail projet (at) graphoui.org, or a link from YouTube, Dailymotion or another provider.

Any other additional information, which is optional and shall not exceed 12 pages:

– An explanation about the continuity or the structure, in the form of a text, a way to tackle the topic, a scenario, a storyboard, a spotting reporting… ;
– Various documents illustrating the project (rushes, sketches, pictures, previous films, …) ;

Have a look at our online film catalogue and ongoing projects to better understand our sensibilities and our artistic approaches.

 


« Hybrid films » Lab – Residency at the Atelier

By « laboratory » we intend to set up an experimentation space which opens possibilities. This space offers to those interested the occasion to test and exchange the results of their processes.

By « hybrid films » we mean productions likely to associate different forms of moving pictures : real pictures, drawings, collage, abstraction, numerical experimentation… Various supports and mechanisms can be considered in accordance with the nature of the project : projection in a room or outdoors, installation within the framework of exhibitions, analog or film projections, web or interactive forms… These multiple approaches shall rely on an artistic approach rooted in the real world or an experience on the ground. They will unfold over time by articulating practice and thought around a central question or a starting theme.

For more information, come and visit our blog: www.graphoui.org/films-hybrides (FR)

Within this framework, we offer you:
– A residency  based on the projects’ needs and the time necessary for research
– A working space in the Atelier Graphoui animation studio
– The equipment necessary for the research period
– Moments of guidance with Atelier Graphoui team
– Punctual meetings with other resident artists
– Periods of collective workshops related to the author’s desires
– Documentation material (video and book libraries)

The Labo hosting is one step in the research process. This support does not imply any promise of production or implication of the Atelier in the finalization of the project, beyond the time of the residency moment. The residency can be prolonged via a motivated demand to the team. After that, it is possible for the author to submit a request for production help to the next Selection panel of Atelier Graphoui.
