WELCOME TO FRAIM

Nelson Conboy ICTV Chair

On behalf of the board, membership and staff of ICTV, I would like to acknowledge and thank the Arrernte people for allowing us to hold FRAIM in Alice Springs— Mparntwe. We welcome all the delegates attending and thank you for travelling the immense distances from across remote Australia, from the north, the centre, and from east to west, to be here this week.

We are all very excited about finally realising our vision to hold a networking and training event that both supports and honours the work of Indigenous video-makers working in remote areas and contributing content to ICTV. The idea of ICTV running a dedicated video festival has its roots in the very first remote ‘film’ festival which was held in Walungurru (Kintore) in 1998. As the Indigenous media sector in remote Australia has evolved and grown, the ICTV board identified the need for a new dedicated event supporting the Indigenous video-makers that are supporting ICTV.

My hope is that the inaugural Festival of Remote Australian Indigenous Moving-Image not only strengthens the networks of Indigenous video-makers working in remote areas of Australia, but also inspires those same video-makers to return to their communities to create more content and to fully appreciate the enormous potential of sharing their work on ICTV, to strengthen culture and language, and to affirm the viability of Indigenous lives lived in remote Australia.

WELCOME MESSAGE

Rita Cattoni ICTV Manager

ICTV is a unique television service. Over 50% of our programming is in an Indigenous language and is categorised into seven genres specific to the content we receive. In this UN Year of Indigenous languages, we are proud to support many Indigenous video-makers producing content in language.

The ICTV television service relies almost entirely on the voluntary contributions of video-makers in remote areas. While several media organisations remain strong supporters, there are many video-makers living in remote communities who are producing video content outside of a standard media context such as youth programs, art centres, arts organisations, schools, language centres, radio stations, ranger programs and more. FRAIM has been developed to support and celebrate this broad ICTV contributor group and to create a framework on which to build a stronger and more viable sector.

FRAIM would not be possible without the support of state, territory and federal governments along with many other supporters and partners. We hope you enjoy FRAIM.

ABOUT ICTVICTV delivers cultural and community video content to remote Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities around Australia, and beyond. It enables the sharing of cultural stories, song and dance, language and essential information through two accessible platforms—our television service and our on-demand internet-based service—and by producing and supporting the production of video content in remote communities. Our content is created for and by remote communities to show our way. Watch ICTV in Alice Springs on Channel 41 or on-demand at ictv.com.au.

FRAIM WORKSHOPSFRAIM workshops will be run in four sessions from Tuesday 14 May 2019 at the Desert Knowledge Precinct, the Centre for Appropriate Technology and BIITE. Presentations will be made by and to all delegates on the final day on Thursday 16 May 2019. Workshops include:

1. TELLING CULTURAL STORIESCultural videos are the foundation of the ICTV television service and include multi-camera recordings of traditional stories and dances; documentation of bush trips, bush craft and bush medicine; caring for country and hunting videos. This workshop will explore the practicalities of covering traditional events in difficult locations and processes for maintaining the cultural integrity of the finished video. It will break into two groups covering a multi-cam recording of a men’s activity and a women’s group.

Trainers: Curtis Taylor, Anna Cadden and Pantjiti McKenzie with Josh Davis providing support.

2. PRODUCING ANIMATIONAnimation provides enormous scope and independence for video-makers. In this workshop, participants will engage in every part of the animation process choosing a 3D stop-motion or a 2D Adobe software option to create animated elements for a pre-recorded and edited cultural story in language.

Trainers: Jonathan Daws and Effy Smith with Gina Campbell providing support.

3. ALL-IN-ONE VIDEO MAKINGExplore video-production for solo practitioners working in community using readily available tools such as mobile phones, iPads and SLRs. This workshop will incorporate all stages of the production process from concept, recording, editing and uploading. It will separate into three streams: video as art; producing community stories; and news and socialising to an audience.

Trainers: Tamara Whyte, Jan Cattoni and Evan Charlton with Vito Lucarelli providing support.

4. DO YOU KNOW YOUR GEAR?Are you bringing your own equipment to FRAIM and want to fully understand its potential uses? Assuming the participant’s understanding of their equipment, this workshop covers basic operations and the demands of shooting with a one or two person crew in remote settings. Participants will use their equipment to maximum potential to create video and capture sounds.

Trainers: John Chisholm and Cornel Ozies with Jamie Balfour providing support.
