Membership in the Film Unit

 Membership in the Film Unit is open to faculty at the University of British Columbia and graduate students whose research supervisors are Film Unit faculty members. The Film Unit is a self-funding unit. The practical implication of being self-funding is that it is the members of the Film Unit who pay for and raise funds for the operation of the Film Unit. Membership thus entails a responsiblity to support the Unit's budget. Faculty members of the Film Unit will normally contribute funds on an annual basis to support the maintanence of Film Unit equipment and supplies. Film projects are funded on a project by project basis. Student Film Unit members, in collaboration with their faculty research supervisors, have been highly successfull in winning external grants for their film and associated research projects. Membership inquiries should be directed to the Film Unit Director.
