The Liaison of Independent Filmmakers of Toronto (LIFT) is seeking 
applications for its residency program. LIFT is an artist-run 
production and educational media arts organization dedicated to 
celebrating excellence in the moving image.

LIFT’s residency program focuses on the production of film-based works 
with equipment and facilities to which the artist would not have access 
in their local region. Artists are expected to be at an established 
point in their practice (although not necessarily working predominantly 
with film).

Eligibility:

International (non-Canadian) artists.

Application:

• Proposal/Artist statement (including how they intend to engage the 
local community during their stay
and how LIFT can help create access to equipment or facilities not 
available at their home location)
• Curriculum vitae
• Proposed budget (including funding sources for materials)
• Visual support material of past work (do not send originals, 
documentation will not be returned)
