Meeting of the Quito Film Collective - February 21, 2006
Present: Anica, Kyle, Meredith, Stashu, Yoni
Conference Call: Dana and Sergio
We looked at the emails we received from people interested in joining the Quito Film Collective. There was fairly strong sentiment that it would be good to not take on more people (for logistics and cost reasons). Although, it was mentioned that someone with very good Quito connections could be valuable.
The group was introduced to our new film and video faculty advisor Stashu Kybartus. We discussed the background and direction of the project.
Conference Call with Sergio
The connection was difficult to hear. We answered Sergio’s questions and discussed his interest in working with the project. Sergio works with indigenous people (not in Quito). He mentioned the decline in state health services. Also, advises us to get a production assistant from Ecuador and permission to shoot (press card?).
Sergio is more interested in the creative side than the productions side. He will talk to some people he knows and think about ideas for the direction of the film. Yoni will follow up with him by email.
Conference Call with Dana:
Dana looked into sanitation issues.
We discussed possible directions and brainstormed ideas including:
• Focus on specific sub-group or illness (youth, Queer, HIV/AIDS, asthma & the environment, Tb)
• The experience of the Quito Project – found that peptic ulcers were very common. Is there info/stats from the Quito Project clinic on conditions, income, backgrounds, gender profiles?
• Disintegrating state of the health system (connection to international aid – why the clinic is needed). Focus on people not bureaucracy
Question to research: Does Ecuador have a system of universal care? General info on health system. The 2 types of clinics – who has access? How are they different?
Grants
Ford Foundation Grant – rolling deadline (letter of inquiry)
Humanities Grant due Mar. 6 – Yoni will take the lead. Everyone should send very short bio and a resume/CV for this application. The primary (technical) applicants will be Stash and Anica, but collaboration with non-UM folks is perfectly fine. Anica and Kyle will be gone next week (Spring Break).
Anica will look into finding a public health faculty advisor (Caroline or Sioban?)
