THE HDV CAMERA - FAD OR INNOVATION?

 

Tuesday January 24th, 2006 – 7:00pm

La Maison de la Realisation (ARRQ), 3480 St. Denis – Metro Sherbrooke

Info: cifcquebec@sympatico.ca

The first DOC Quebec meeting of the New Year promises to be very exciting and informative.

Highlighted will be the new generation of small-format HD cameras currently available, with filmmaker and DOP Bill Kerrigan and editor David Oxilla discussing and demonstrating their recent work using this new medium. Also, Dean Iacuessa from CEV and a SONY rep will be on hand to show their latest gear and answer technical questions.  

 

DOC is a non-profit professional and advocacy organization dedicated to supporting the art of independent filmmaking and filmmakers in Canada.   In 1993, DOC (formally known as the Canadian Independent Film Caucus) founded the Hot Docs International Documentary Film and Video Festival, now the largest event of its type in North America.   More recently, DOC was involved in founding les Rencontres Internationales du Documentaires de MontrŽal, as well as the 2880 Film Blitz and Doc Circuit.  DOC is also a vocal lobbying body, maintaining visibility of the independent filmmaker through government and industry representation. Events and services for members, such as technical workshops, mentorships for emerging filmmakers, screenings, and speakers' series are also organized and presented.  

Proceeds will help the Quebec branch of DOC continue to offer these services and events to the filmmaking community.
