About
This two-day workshop is aimed at both beginning filmmakers who’ve never dealt with sprockets before and more advanced practitioners who are eager to augment their current processes. You’ll learn about working with found footage, orienting 16mm film, using a splicer and a 16mm projector, as well as how to manipulate/interrupt/destroy/augment found footage. Participants will create a collaborative found footage film by working individually with sections of a provided 16mm film that will be spliced back together at the end of the workshop and screened as a single film.
