On & For Production and Distributio From What to How
Publication: Ilona Jurkonytė, “From What to How,” On and For Production and Distribution, April 30, 2021, https://onandfor.eu/texts/from-what-to-how. On & For Production and DistributionOn & For Production and Distribution (On & For) is a European cooperative project that is conceived to advance and strengthen the field of artists’ moving image (AMI).
The aim of On & For is to vitalise the networks
of artists and professionals that work together in order to facilitate
the production, distribution, commissioning, curating, and programming
of AMI by bringing together the various consolidated or
emerging professionals that nourish this field (artists, producers,
distributors, curators, organisations, institutions) from all over
Europe.
On & For Production and Distribution is initiated by Auguste Orts (BE) in collaboration with Kaunas International Film Festival (LT), LUX/LUX Scotland (UK), and Nordland Kunst -og Filmskole (NO). With the support of the Creative Europe Programme of the European Union.
History of On & ForOn & For Production and Distribution (On & For) stems from a previous project called On & For Production (2014-2016) and
is build upon its results. During the project's first duration, On
& For created 4 public workshops, 1 symposium, and 5 round table
events that invited more than 150 professionals from 15 countries. By
2016, On & For had supported 21 international artists' moving image
(AMI) projects.
Listening to the feedback and demand for such a project to continue
evolving, a new project with deeper insight into matters of production and distribution called On & For Production and Distribution (2018-2021) was launched.
On & For produces public situations for the discourse on AMI production and distribution to grow, inter-sectorial knowledge exchange to thrive, and sector development to flourish.
The target audience of artists, filmmakers, producers, distributors,
gallerists, museum workers, curators, film festival programmers,
independent programmers, film funds, policy makers, art commissioners,
art/film industry students, and AMI lovers in general are reached by
providing public workshops, case-study seminars, symposiums, and
screenings.
On & For focuses on accompanying AMI projects
in-the-making, their authors and producers too, and invites keen
professionals from the visual art and film sectors to partake in their
evolution, supporting projects in development with hands-on peer to peer
Work Sessions. This component is invitation based and set up for the
development of the projects in progress and to build up cross-sectoral
(namely art, film, and culture) AMI networks.
On & For is initiated by the artist-run production and distribution organisation Auguste Orts (BE) in collaboration with the AMI-oriented film festival Kaunas International Film Festival (LT), the AMI-focused arts agency, collection and distributor LUX/LUX Scotland, and the artist-run higher educational institute Nordland Kunst -og Filmskole (NO).
On & For Production and Distribution is made possible with the support of the Creative Europe Programme of the European Union.
