Additional Resources - Montreal Film & Photography

Section titled “Additional Resources - Montreal Film & Photography”

These are organizations and programs that may be less directly relevant for student collaborator outreach but could provide industry connections or alternative pathways.


Type: University program (Academic/Theoretical)

AddressMcCall MacBain Arts Building, Room 120

Montréal, QC H3A 0G5

Low priority for this project

Reasons:

  • “World Cinemas Program” = primarily academic/theoretical focus
  • Undergraduate advising contact = general department, not production-specific
  • English department contact = film studies rather than film production
  • No mention of photography or production programs

Potential use:

  • Film studies students might be interested in movement/body documentation from academic perspective
  • Could provide theoretical framework for visual documentation approach
  • Unlikely to have hands-on production students available
  • Only pursue if primary schools (Concordia, UQAM, Dawson) don’t yield results
  • May not be worth outreach time given theoretical vs. production focus

Type: Industry organization

Industry connection pathway

Possible uses:

  • Industry job board access
  • Professional filmmaker network
  • Industry standards/practices information
  • Potential referrals to emerging filmmakers

Medium priority - exploratory

When to use:

  • If student outreach doesn’t yield sufficient collaborators
  • To access emerging professional (not student) filmmakers
  • For industry networking beyond student pool
  • To understand typical project collaboration structures in Montreal film industry
  • General inquiry about emerging filmmaker network
  • Ask about job board or project posting opportunities
  • Request info on typical collaboration structures
  • Inquire about referrals to recent graduates

Type: Technical training organization

  • Offers courses for technical cinema professions
  • Recognized by Quebec’s film and television industry
  • Focus on technical rather than creative roles
  • ⚠️ No contact information provided
  • ⚠️ No website listed
  • Would need to research separately

Low priority for this project

Reasons:

  • Technical training (not cinematography/photography creative training)
  • Technical professions likely focus on crew roles, not documentation
  • Insufficient contact information to pursue easily

Potential value:

  • Understanding of Quebec film industry technical standards
  • Possible network for future technical collaboration needs
  • Industry-recognized training = professional standards
  • Only research if other avenues exhausted
  • May be more relevant for future technical production needs
  • Low ROI for current photography/videography documentation project

For Baseworks Photography-Videography collaboration outreach:

  1. concordia-university-mel-hoppenheim-school-of-cinema - Primary
  2. uqam-ecole-des-medias - Primary
  3. dawson-college-cinema-photography - Primary
  1. trebas-institute - Secondary (private college considerations)

Tier 3: Industry/Professional Alternatives

Section titled “Tier 3: Industry/Professional Alternatives”
  1. Main Film - If student outreach insufficient
  2. McGill World Cinemas - Only if exploring theoretical documentation approaches
Section titled “Tier 4: Not Recommended for Current Project”
  1. MONDEL - Technical focus not aligned with current needs
