Concordia University Television
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Concordia University Television (CUTV) is Canada's oldest student-run television station. Founded in 1969, CUTV has a strong focus on media literacy and training in the Montreal area. The station is under the umbrella of the Concordia Student Broadcasting Corporation (CSBC), along with CJLO and the Concordia Amateur Radio Club.
In recent years, CUTV has broadened its focus to include both on- and off-campus media support. Most notably, the station hosted the inaugural Summer Video Bootcamp in July 2007. The bootcamp taught video-based moviemaking skills to a group of youth from the Montreal area. CUTV has also been involved in the Atwater Library Digital Literacy Project as well as several other initiatives within the community.
CUTV is also the home of makealottamovies, a monthly filmmaking workshop open to both the student body as well as the community. This workshop teams up experienced and inexperienced filmmakers with the goal of making a short film in 3 days. It allows individuals to learn the bare bones of filmmaking in a very short amount of time. At the end of the month, CUTV hosts a screening for everyone to see, showcasing all of the finished films.
