This workshop will give participants an opportunity to create their own 16mm camera-less moving images through a direct contact printing process. The process involves briefly exposing 16mm print film to light in the dark room. The light is filtered through a sheet of glass whilst various materials are placed over the film to create patterns, similar to that of cyanotype printing. The film is then developed to create permanent impressions. Participants will have the opportunity to create their own motion contact print sequences and learn the basics of hand working with 16mm film in the process, such as splicing, tinting, as well as see their film pieces projected.

This is a hands-on workshop, for which the ideal participant is an artist, maker, tinkerer, creative individual. All materials will be provided, but we also invite you to bring in flat materials/objects such as leaves, fabrics etc that you wish to play around with.
