The Arts Council and University
College Cork invite applications from film artists of distinction for the role
of Film Artist in Residence at UCC for the calendar year 2022.
The Film Artist in Residence,
based in the School of Film, Music and Theatre, is designed to provide a film artist
with a unique opportunity to develop their practice in a university environment
while offering students of film and screen media the opportunity to engage with
a practising artist in a meaningful way during the course of their studies.
The Film Artist in Residence will be engaged for the
calendar year 2022 and will be situated in the Department of Film and Screen
Media at UCC.
About the Residency
The residency will have two parts:
From January to June 2022, the Film Artist in Residence will
be supported to engage with students and staff. This programme of engagement will
be designed by the Film Artist in Residence, in consultation with the faculty
of the university, and could include focused postgraduate teaching, workshops,
mentoring, public events or other activities which bring new and unique energy
to the film and screen media programme. Contact time with students and staff during
this time will be capped at four hours per week, and the Film Artist in
Residence will not be expected to deliver core curriculum.
From July to December, the Film Artist in Residence will be
supported to concentrate wholly on their own practice.
The
fee to the Film Artist in Residence is €30,000, with the Arts Council
contributing €20,000 and the university €10,000. UCC will provide the
Film Artist in Residence with a dedicated space, where they can conduct their
own creative practice, within the university. UCC will also support the
residency administratively. The
fee will be paid in two instalments directly by the Arts Council, with a final
report to be submitted by the Film Artist in Residence at the conclusion of the
residency.
