The recycling of vintage film and video footage is an exciting and free-form approach to creating new work and letting chance lead your imagination. The playful use of given material allows the participant to make what’s old new again.
 
In the workshop, participants will get familiar with some techniques of found footage filmmaking, using found 16mm and vintage video camera footage. Paint, animate, scratch, re-edit, add sound, music…the possibilities are endless. This is an ideal workshop for beginners. Some experience in video editing is useful but not necessary.
