		<description><![CDATA[Following on from the National Film Board of Canada&#8217;s desire to continue participatory film making into the digital age they have produced an ambitious participatory digital ethnography project called High Rise. NFB calls High Rise a 360 degree documentary &#8211; by which they mean it is an interactive documentary &#8211; a field growing in popularity as the wonders of web design improve day by day. High Rise profiles high rise living in a number of places around the world using photography, edited extracts from interviews and oral histories and a very cool panorama web design that allows you to virtually look around the spaces in which the stories take place and dive into different elements of the stories with audio, visual and text based stories on tap. click here to see a trailer on the project or just go to the High Rise site and explore. (Check out previous posts on interesting work from the Canadian National Film Board here)]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In Part 2 on Marie-Eve Leduc’s work with Participatory Video and her 2007 work running a PV project with 6 Palestinian youths in Bethlehem, Marie-Eve talks about her motivations and approach to PV and reflects on how her own identity as foreign facilitator may have influenced the direction of the youth’s films, despite efforts to minimise this influence. You can read Part 1 on Marie-Eve’s work here. Marie-Eve was influenced in her PV approach by other Participatory Video practitioners, such as Nick &#38; Chris Lunch and InsightShare PV model, however she adapted and changed the approach to suit her goals for the project. “My primary objectives were never to use films as a negotiation tool to stimulate communication between a community and its policy-makers. I was basically concerned to discover and understand how young Palestinian refugees perceive their world and represent themselves through films. I was interested in their personal visual narratives recounting their life experiences as Palestinian refugee and adolescents. I chose to work with a model of individual film-making, but I maintained the idea of the ‘group’. This means that we had group workshops, discussions and brainstorming but in the end, the six members of the group had [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This is the first in what I hope will be a series about artists and practitioners who bring together collaborative ethnography and art. This first feature is about Participatory Video practitioner Marie-Eve Leduc. It is accompanied by an exhibition in Side by Side Online Galleries of 3 of the films made by young Palestinian refugees in a project that Marie-Eve facilitated. Click here to visit the exhibition. I first came across Marie-Eve’s work when I was shown a copy of her film “Stars Of Bethlehem” which is a documentary about a Participatory Video (PV) project she ran in Bethlehem with Palestinian refugees in 2007. At that time she made the film, Marie-Eve was a student in the Masters of Visual Culture Studies at the University Tromso, in Norway. Marie-Eve calls Stars of Bethlehem a ‘mosaic’ film which was made as part of the examination process for her training.  To me there is great strength in the films ability to reveal aspects of the process of collaboration and the nature of the relationships which enabled 6 young people to make their own films. As practitioners of participatory and collaborative projects, such insights into other peoples experience are rare, and invaluable. I [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In the growing tradition of using participatory photography as a tool in the empowerment of marginalised young people, the searching for eldorado project (procurando eldorado in Portugues), which happened in Sao Paolo, Brazil in 2004/05, got young people (10-18 yrs) from that community to create a picture portrait of their community using digital photography. As the project website says, &#8220;the primary aim of the project was not to teach the participants photographic or digital skills, although they undoubtedly learnt much about these areas, to which the majority had not been previously exposed. The basis of the project was a series of group discussions about the community and the places, people and things within it that were important to the young people involved. Within these discussions ideas about representation and self-representation were raised and the dominant media image of Eldorado, and other marginalised communities, as relentlessly violent and hopeless brought into question.&#8221; Utilising the power of citizen journalism which digital cameras and the distribution tool that is the internet can provide this project is an example of the ways in which NGOs and other organisations seek to support alternative media representations of marginalised communities using participatory photography. The images from this project [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[One of the projects that broke new ground for movements in participatory &#38; social-change film-making was the Challenge for Change program. Created by the Canadian National Film Board in 1967, it ran until 1980 and resulted in over 140 films being made as collaborations between filmmakers and Canadian communities. The Challenge for Change program was designed to give voice to the &#8220;voiceless&#8221;, seeking to transfer control processes of filmmaking  from professional filmmakers to community members, so that ordinary Canadians in underrepresented communities could tell their own stories on screen. The most famous films from the project are from Fogo Island, and were a collaboration between academics, filmmakers and community members. The processes and learning from the Fogo Island films shaped the Challenge for Change methodology &#8211; including putting a strong focus on using the process of collaborative film making, and dissemination of resulting films, to open up dialogue between community members and policy makers about issues of importance to the community. A focus on high production value was less important than a deeply  participatory approach. Oft cited as a ground-breaking project Challenge for Change has had strong influence on models of particpatory media making in the 40 years since the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Urban Theatre Projects (UTP), originally founded as Death Defying Theatre (way back in the ‘80’s) is a professional theatre company based in Bankstown (Sydney, NSW). Their tag line is &#8216;Stories of Contemporary Life&#8216; and they make new theatre works that reflect such stories and images of contemporary Australian life, with a focus on people and cultures living in urban environments. In just over a week their new show “The Fence” opens as part of the Sydney Festival 2010. I haven’t seen the show (yet) – but their method of work is interesting, reflecting a hybrid creative approach to developing works that reflect contemporary experiences, lives and stories and engage with the experiences and expertise of members of the communities they are representing without producing documentary per se. The Fence is a story that takes place in the family home of Mel and Joy in Sydney’s western suburbs. It investigates the experiences and resilience of five middle-aged Australians, four of whom grew up in care as part of the Stolen Generations and Forgotten Australians. It will be performed in a purpose built house in Sydney’s Western Suburbs. The process for developing The Fence has been a mixture of collaboratively-devised works by [...]]]></description>
