Excellence in Research and Innovation
The Globe & Mail
When the work you’re doing in digital film research starts finding application in the work of acclaimed filmmakers such as Peter Jackson (The Lord of the Rings) and James Cameron (Titanic and Terminator) you know you’re on the right track. That’s certainly been the case with Sheridan College’s Screen Industries Research and Training Centre (SIRT), fast emerging as a leading technology access centre for the film industry.
“Thanks in part to a significant grant from the Canada Foundation for Innovation we have been able to not only develop an industry-standard test and demonstration centre for digital cinema research here at Sheridan, but also attract the kind of expertise that allows us to work with industry partners on advanced technologies used in the rapidly evolving and highly competitive film, television and gaming sectors,” says SIRT director, strategic partnerships, John Helliker. The research is done in open cooperation with other research institutions, including York University’s Centre for Vision Research, and industry partners such as Christie Digital, which works with heavy hitters like Cameron and Jackson.
SIRT is proud to have Canada Foundation for Innovation (CFI) as one of our main funders.
