File consists of two copies of the agenda for the film-making residency, which ran October 1-20, 2008. The program overview reads: "Good Medicine is a research and experimental documentary project exploring the breadth and myriad of issues surrounding the concepts of health and wellness in the context of First Nation communities in Alberta. Five talented aboriginal artists have been selected to capture the stores and perspectives of their communities and provide case studies not only for the issues inherent in the aboriginal healthcare system, but the Canadian system as a whole.

Each of the five participants has produced footage to be worked into a six minute short video. Over twenty days in Banff they will not only edit and polish this footage, but they will critique, debate and deconstruct the issues and process of creating their art. Good Medicine will turn the videos and the consideration of their production into the first self-critical documentary of its kind."

File consists of two copies of each of the agendas for the "GOSH! Workshop" (July 11-15, 2009), and the "GOSH! Summit" (July 16-18, 2009). The program description for the summit reads: "The Grounding Open Source Hardware (GOSH!) Summit at The Banff Centre serves to bring together the many and disparate makers, producers, theorizers, and promoters of physical objects that come to life under open and distributed models. This Banff New Media Institute (BNMI) summit will highlight and facilitate the emerging dialogue on both artist-driven and socially conscious open source hardware projects. From prosthetic limbs to electronic hardware, the breadth of open source hardware projects and distributed models of manufacturing suggest that it is time for these disparate manufacturers, designers, artists, and engineers to come together to discuss the common issues of their practices.

While open hardware practices have led to the rapid development of a multitude of varied projects, no central organizing rules or practices exists for open hardware. Open hardware brings excitement, a potential for real social effects, and a lightning-fast collaborative progress to the development of physical objects, but along with these benefits come a host of complicated issues. A central goal of the conference will be to bring to light these issues, in a multidisciplinary context that encourages exchange and collaboration."
