Description

This past June, Skidmore students, professors, and professional documentarians came together for MDOCS' inaugural Storyteller's Institute.

Learning how to shoot video with a camera, and draw on great audio recording skills to bring sound are important skills.

2015's inaugural MDOCS Storytellers' institute documents "family." Being part of a family is an integral part of the human experience. Whether the family is one we are born into, chose or were chosen for; large or small; gathers for weekly dinners, annual holidays or an occasional conversation; evokes comedy or drama, love or loss...family shapes who we are in past, present and future tenses.

As part of Project VIS, Skidmore College invites applications for a 2.5-year Mellon Fellowship in Visual Communication and Documentary Arts to embed best practices in design and technology into a campus-wide initiative to promote visual literacy and documentary storytelling.
