About the Artist

Shaun Elie offers video workshops that can adapt to different situations. In his workshops, students will learn techniques and create very short videos. Residency projects allow them to develop more complex projects, exploring particular themes or issues.

I like to challenge the way students approach working with video, to break with their preconceived notions of the role of video in our lives and as a medium for artistic expression.
