The National Screen Institute of Canada (NSI) is a non-profit organization headquartered in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada.〔〔 The organization describes itself as "Canada's national film, television and digital media training school for writers, directors and producers." The NSI was created in 1986 as a renaming of the "Canadian Screen Institute" (CSI),〔〔 and originally functioned as part of the University of Alberta,〔〔 and is Canada's oldest nationally recognized film and television training school.〔 ==History== In 1984, Canadian filmmakers met in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada at "Symposium 84 – Local Heroes",〔 held during the first Local Heroes Film Festival which showcased independent Canadian short films and features from around the world.〔 In 1985, discussions on strategies resulted in "DramaLab" as a hands-on development program for producers, directors and writers to have the opportunity to learn the film industry and develop their skills.〔〔 One of the 1985 artistic directors was film director Allan King who recognized that the program filled a void, as at that time there were no filmmaking courses being offered in Canadian universities or technical schools.〔 In a decision to further meet a need for film and television training outside larger metropolitan centers, the "Canadian Screen Institute" (CSI) was formed on April 7, 1986, adopting both DramaLab and Local Heroes as its two flagship programs.〔〔 By the end of 1986, the organization's name had been changed to National Screen Institite.〔 Originating as part of the University of Alberta in Edmonton, the institute began with an annual operating budget of $360,000 a year, one-third of which was provided by the Alberta government.〔〔 In 1990, the NSI's Board of Directors introduced another program evolved from DramaLab called "NSI Drama Prize", in which filmmaker participants would work to build their skills in a format that combined production incentives, mentorship and professional development workshops.〔 In 1997 "NSI Features First" began, a professional development program introduced for writers, directors and producers working on their first or second feature film,〔 to provide training opportunities, an enhancement of knowledge base, networking opportunities and skill sets required to shepherd their films though to completion. In 1998, the NSI opened a second office in Winnipeg and in 1999 introduced a second Local Heroes Festival to Winnipeg that screened exclusively Canadian film and videos. In spring 2001 the NSI consolidated its operations in Winnipeg, transferring the Edmonton Local Heroes Film Festival to the Edmonton International Film Festival Society and refocused and renamed the Winnipeg Local Heroes Festival to NSI Film Exchange Canadian Film Festival.〔 In completing early plans of the organization to develop stories for the big and small screens, "NSI Global Marketing" was introduced in 2001. Participants are required to have a show that has aired on national television and have a project in development to qualify for the program intended to equip participants with the tools to succeed in a distribution marketplace.〔 "NSI Totally Television" was begun in 2002 as a program to help individuals working in the television industry sharpen their skills, tune their concepts, and work toward getting a broadcast development deal.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「National Screen Institute」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
