INTERACTIVE SCREEN, Banff’s annual new media summit and workshop, is now accepting applications.  The theme this year is SUSTAIN. Oui.  The deadline is July 25.

There are two paths to the mountains:

a/ You may register as INDEPENDENT ARTISTS; the tuition is $600 and is worth it if you have it. There are many people to meet and a fine time to be had, replete with fun, learning, and the occasional wild elk or wooly mountain goat.

b/ If you have a new media project that fits within the thematic lines of the event and that you wish to further develop, you can apply for the INTENSIVE SCHOLARSHIP program. At least 10 scholarships are available. They support 50% of travel fees and 100% of tuition, room, meals, and mentorship costs. The projects will be adjudicated by a committee and participants will be invited to come to the event a day in advance and to stay on a day extra to have focussed time with Peer Advisors.
