Do residencies provide specialized equipment for Video/Film?

Specialised residencies often offer equipped studios, print presses, darkrooms, labs or technical help — listed with each programme’s facilities.

How do I demonstrate experience in Video/Film?

Provide a cohesive portfolio of 5-10 recent works, with descriptions detailing the concept, dimensions, and materials used.
