Did you know that you could make a film without using a camera at all? Filmmakers and artists have been experimenting with film as a medium for years now and have come up with unique hand-working techniques that one can use in order to get creative results when projected. 

Celluloid is a versatile medium with multiple possibilities. In the past our team has explored camera-less practices on blank film and found footage — from tinting the film using coffee, ink and other stains; painting, scratching, etching for animation, to pasting various materials to the films’ surface that reveal beautiful textures and patterns when projected. 

This workshop will be an introduction to handworking on film, exploring the above mentioned techniques. On day one, participants will learn the various techniques. The remainder of the workshop will be designated to developing their own pieces, 1- 2 minutes in length. All films made during the course of the workshop will be scanned and made available online, after which participants may keep their films.
