Open Access Intensive Production - Get Down to Get Up!

A tradition since 2002, EMMEDIA's Compression Camps offer local and visiting artists and independents the freedom to translate ideas and concepts into short videos that are compressed and uploaded for web-streaming on-line at compressioncamp.com.
Pushing against and through an intensive gauntlet of deadlines and time restrictions, the works in this year's Compression Camp reacted to EMMEDIA's CRASH! thematic. All processes, formats and ideas were welcome in this hands-on, intensive camp. EMMEDIA is pleased to continue facilitating the creation and exhibition of media art, revealing the various roles and ideas driving artists, activists and producers in our community today. Artists retain all copyright for works produced and equipment and technical support is free for participants. EM is pleased to note that this year's Compression Camp videos will be presented in conjunction with A Thousand Words Exactly: Writing about Film and New Media for Publication, a writing workshop facilitated by David Garneau.

Screening: November 27th 9 p.m.
