Virtual Production Creative Residencies
Galway, UNESCO City of Film, Ardán and Galway Culture Company are delighted to offer two residencies focused on the area of Virtual Production.
About Virtual Production Creative Residencies
The Virtual Production Creative Residencies Scheme is an initiative of Galway, UNESCO City of Film and a collaboration between Ardán and Galway Culture Company with the aim of supporting practitioners in the emerging Virtual Production sector. The scheme will utilise the UNESCO Creative Cities Network to connect with Virtual Production practitioners from outside of Ireland and invite them to Galway to take up residency positions in each of Galway’s main universities. Each residency will be three to four weeks in duration, and hosted by one of our local universities.
Centre for Creative Technologies at University of Galway and the Film Department in Atlantic Technology University Galway will lead the initiative and the selected practitioner will have access to the facilities and expertise available at their host university along with a network of local Virtual Production practitioners facilitated by Ardán.
The goal of the scheme is to:
- Facilitate the sharing of expertise between Virtual Production practitioners in Ireland and abroad
- To encourage collaboration between those practitioners and facilitate networking
- Facilitate creative and professional development for the practitioners
We would hope that each selected practitioner will bring their expertise to the residency with a vision to use the time to produce a creative work in Virtual Production that would assist in their career development.
The ideal candidate for the residency is:
- Someone with some experience with virtual production technology or processes
- A practitioner with a vision for a creative work that would require 3 to 4 weeks of effort
- A practitioner capable of working alone with the technology but open to collaboration with others
- Someone that is comfortable communicating and working in English
Each selected practitioner will be offered a bursary of €12,000 to cover their costs and activities associated with their residency.
