In an effort to support artists during the COVID-19 pandemic, SAW Video is offering a free workshop series during the month of April for SAW Video members and members of the Ottawa arts community at large.
Knot Project Space would like to invite artists to submit to our new stay-at-home-web-residency program. Over the course of five weeks, three artists will meet weekly over the internet alongside the Knot’s Artistic Programmer in order to discuss their artistic practices. Reading and media discussions will be had throughout, alongside studio visits with local and national scholars, curators and artists. Each resident will receive a fee of $1000.00 for the diffusion of 1 of their works created over the course of the residency on our social media platforms.
In case you missed Byron Pascoe's webinar on the Legal Considerations for Filmmakers, you can still catch the entire presentation on YouTube.
Both SAW Video and our guest lecturer, Howard Adler, felt it best to postpone our next Night School lecture, Indigenous Futurisms.
Our plan is to reschedule this lecture for May/June of this year, so please stay tuned. We we really appreciate your interest in this program and we'll have some more content online for you very soon!
The SAW Video staff tele-met yesterday and we made some great progress!
We're developing more online offerings to be announced soon, including virtual tech-support by appointment with our Post-Production Coordinator.
To protect our staff, members, and volunteers SAW Video facilities are closed until April 5th, 2020. All SAW Video staff is practicing social distancing and working from their home offices. All equipment and facility rentals are suspended.
We wanted to reassure you that we're currently preparing to offer our workshops virtually and Video Schoolhouse 2020 is still set for April 7th - May 26th.
We'll have even more good news on Wednesday, so please stay tuned.
Be safe and take care!

SAW Video is closely monitoring the coronavirus (COVID-19) situation in the city of Ottawa. As such we are referencing public health updates and recommendations in our activities and services. We wanted to check-in with all workshop and programming event attendees about what this specifically means for SAW Video as the health of our staff members and those who we engage with is a top priority. We also would like to address that we are only responding to substantiated facts and remaining cool, calm and collected in our response to this situation.
