READ MORE One would have to be a slight bit deluded to go into documentary filmmaking for riches or fame, but is it possible to even make a sustainable living as a non-fiction filmmaker? A recent Oscar nominated documentarian was quoted as saying that she envied farmers, because "at least they are subsidized." Nonfiction films, often expensive, challenging, years-long in the making, are very financially taxing, particularly in our current economic climate. Filmmakers often have to take on other jobs, and find creative ways of funding. We talk to those in the trenches - up and coming directors, seasoned producers, filmmakers' advocates, editors-for-hire, about ways to make a decent living as a documentarian.

Give and Take books with strangers. Get more than you gave. Make art out of books and give them away. Check our website for video clips of these events and how anyone can make their own activity. We supply and give away hundreds of books and encourage the public to make art from the books and then give them away to strangers. This process is an artwork in itself and responds to the people, place and materials/books we use. DESCRIPTION Take one free book, read/write/draw on it, give the book away as a free art piece to a stranger. Its a great ice breaker and you will make someone else's day. This is a collaborative artwork that is about the process rather then the product and empowers everyone to create art and selflessly give it away in so doing changing their behaviour and the way they live for the better. Its subversive art and has existed in an undercover way for a while now. We are always developing new activities and are looking for a permanent spaces to facilitate longer term projects too.
