This large-scale summit is hosted by a different city every second year. In June 2012 Alberta will welcome artists, cultural workers, scholars, critics and students to The Banff Centre, a globally respected arts, cultural, and educational institution and conference facility located in the beautiful Canadian Rocky Mountains. SOURCE is a partnership between the IMAA, Film & Media at The Banff Centre, the National Indigenous Media Arts Coalition, the Alberta Media Arts Alliance Society, New University Television, Calgary Society of Independent Filmmakers, Quickdraw Animation Society, and EMMEDIA. SOURCE will be an unprecedented gathering, sure to generate a tremendous level of community, inspiration, and media attention.
The theme “source” stems from the Banff springs and flows through multiple interpretations including source of creativity and ideation which is the foundation from which all media artists and administrators work. In June 2010, the IMAA held its national conference ON Fire in Toronto, ON, which looked at the burning issues within the media arts. Water as a metaphor will respond to this by dousing its delegates in outstanding keynotes, interactive discussions, film screenings, performances, and media art installations in various venues at the Banff Centre.
