Radboud University has a rich heritage collection. In collaboration with InScience – International Science Film Festival Nijmegen, the university invites filmmakers to be inspired by the heritage, stories and people of Radboud University as artists-in-residence and to get started with that.

InScience – International Film Festival Nijmegen
InScience is one of the largest international film festivals for science films in Europe. The program consists of the best science films that have been released worldwide every year. During the festival, top international scientists, filmmakers and audiences meet to share the latest insights that shape the world of tomorrow.

Radboud Heritage
In its 101-year history, Radboud University has built up an extensive heritage collection through research and education, and is often used by students and researchers. It is a rich collection that reflects the history of education, science and the university itself. In addition, the university has numerous collections and objects that are sometimes still in use, but which have often lost their original function: the 'stray collections'. Radboud University is conducting a search through all these collections: what do we want to preserve? And what stories do these litter collections tell about the university and the people associated with it?

Residence
To portray these stories, Radboud University, in collaboration with InScience, is looking for filmmakers! As an artist-in-residence, join us in the search for the university's 'litter', be inspired and - in your own way - shape the stories surrounding the collection and its significance for the university community.

For this residency we are looking for a maker to make a (short) film or audiovisual installation that can be shown in 2025 during the tenth edition of the InScience Film Festival and that draws attention to the heritage of Radboud University. If you are interested, please register no later than May 1, 2024. We will then select a limited number of makers to explore the university's heritage with us on May 15 during a tour of the campus. They then submit a proposal before June 1 and are invited for a pitch on June 7. Shortly afterwards we will announce who will have access to the collection for filming as an artist-in-residence in the summer and autumn of 2024. The residency runs until February 1, 2025.
