Saturday, October 25, 2:00 鈥� 4:00 pm, Haviland Club, 2 Haviland Street, Charlottetown. No admission charge. DOCTalks is a new approach to knowledge mobilization that began at St. Thomas University four years ago. It spread to UNB and Memorial University and is now being adopted by university researchers across Canada. DOCTalks creates partnerships between researchers and professional filmmakers to produce documentaries that bring the research to the wider world in a compelling and accessible way. This in itself is not a particularly new idea. Documentary filmmakers and academics have collaborated since the early days of motion pictures. What is new about DOCTalks is its innovative approach to financing. DOCTalks allows researchers to dramatically increase the money they can use for knowledge mobilization by tapping into the funding sources available to documentary filmmakers in Canada such as the Canada Media Fund. If you are interested in learning how you can take advantage of this approach for your research projects, you are strongly encouraged to attend the DOCTalks Panel happening this Saturday as part of the annual Island Media Arts Festival. The panel includes Lloyd Salomone from DOCTalks at St. Thomas University, Dr. Fiona Walton from the 91探花 Faculty of Education who has used documentaries very successfully in her work, and Mark Sandiford, a local Gemini-award winning documentary filmmaker.
