The Weight of Mountains Filmmakers Residency Dawson City, Yukon Territory, Canada
January 10 - April 4, 2018. Applications Close May 3, 2017

Walking the line between structure and freedom, this residency is a many headed beast: a biennially rotating film collective on assignment, a performance of place, a cultural mirror, a momentary Narnia, an interventionist, a portal, an international exchange and dialogue, and a discovery of the invisible. The Weight of Mountains residency tailors a space for filmmakers to immerse themselves into remote, overwhelmingly present, or challenging environments world wide to intervene, divert, connect, challenge and enhance their creative practice with fellow contemporaries; bringing together international artists and cross-pollinating film and media with global perspectives.

Videos not in excess of 15 minutes are requested for inclusion in Frame & Frequency 3, Vol. 2, an international video art exchange, presented as a series of screenings and exhibitions held concurrently in Medellin, Colombia at the PLECTO Galeria and at VisArts in Rockville, MD just outside Washington, DC, opening May 5th, 2017.
