Participants will learn aspects of operating a Super 8mm camera including perfecting exposure and utilizing the unique features of the format. We will focus on hand-processing black & white film onsite, experimenting with various techniques including the Russian hand processing tanks and the “bucket” method. Participants will shoot Tri-X Super 8 film stock and put the processing techniques into practice, viewing their footage and looking at other hand-processed films in order to examine the aesthetics and techniques of hand-processing.
The workshop will also demonstrate additional camera-less DIY filmmaking techniques, including drawing and painting directly on 16mm film, as well as printing on 16mm film with a home laser printer. Hands-on instruction will be supplemented by film screenings, and engagement with literature. Participants are encouraged to share their own films, or films that inspire them, in several informal screenings.
This workshop includes film, darkroom chemistry and supplies. Participants are encouraged to bring a Super 8mm camera if possible; several cameras will be available for use.
