FILMING LOCATION INFORMATION

Film students are allowed to use ACTF and main campus buildings for filming with appropriate permission and paperwork. New this year: a longer process for securing 3rd-Party Insurance for non-UW locations.

Lead time is critical as new permissions and insurance requirements are in place - plan for at least two weeks for paperwork to be processed.

FILM LOCATION CHECKLIST: Please review this list as it is useful for ANY filming schedule, but is particularly relevant for location request and insurance requirements. Find it here.

FILM-SPECIFIC ACTF ROOM BOOKING FORM: A new form has been created specifically for Film Students to use for booking space in the ACTF. Find it here.

UW MAIN CAMPUS LOCATION REQUEST AND AUTHORIZATION FORM: The form for requesting locations around the UW campus (outside the ACTF) has been updated. Several layers of permission are required for filming on Main Campus so a minimum of two weeks notice is required. Please use one form per location. Find it here, or you can pick up hard copies of the form in the department office, 3T03.

INSURANCE: Off-campus location owners may require 3rd-party insurance, which can be obtained through the University. If you are filming in an off-campus location and the owner requires insurance, please REVIEW THE CHECKLIST and COMPLETE THE FORM (a downloadable form in Word). For questions about Insurance contact Melinda in the department office, 3T03, m.tallin@uwinnipeg.ca or 204-786-9955 who will refer you to the appropriate UW person. Detailed information, photos, and contact information may be required before approval is granted so a minimum of two weeks is required.

Waivers may also be required for both the location use and participants in your film.

If you are considering locations off-campus, please make sure you speak to your Instructor about the appropriate authorizations, permits, permissions, insurance and paperwork.
