Wapikoni Mobile - Quebec, Canada
This motorised motion picture training and production studio has been
touring Quebec's Aboriginal communities since June 2004. Initiated by
Productions des Beaux Jours and the National Film Board (NFB), Wapikoni
Mobile trains young Aboriginals living on reservations in film-making
techniques. The programme features an onboard (mobile) recording
studio, digital cameras, editing stations, and a projector.
Participants are supported at each stage by professional guides;
however, creation is always left to the young Aboriginal screen
writers. Once the motorised training programme/vehicle has departed,
youth-to-youth communication is fostered via the internet. The goal is
to help break through the isolation that young Aboriginals can
experience, enabling them to develop their creativity and acquire new
skills relating to cinematography.
