VAC35: CNY Experimental Media Consortium

Collaborative Goals

The goal of the CNY Experimental Media Consortium is to formulate a strategic plan for increasing public access to and awareness of the rich experimental media offerings of the institutions in our region. We hope to achieve this through:

• Engaging in shared conversations about the state of the field through the invitation of a guest speaker.
• Creating a regional event planning calendar to enhance our own awareness of what everyone in the field throughout the region is doing and to ensure members avoid scheduling major events within driving distance on the same date.
• Facilitating travel between Corridor institutions within 1-2 hours of each other for students and others with limited access to transportation to attend Consortium members' events.
• Collaborating to invite high profile filmmakers, filmmakers with recent releases, or touring curated programs to the region for multiple coordinated engagements, which will support the artists and allow for cost sharing.
