In
partnership with the 18th edition of Media City Film Festival and the Art
Gallery of Windsor, the Liaison of Independent Filmmakers of Toronto (LIFT)
will present a free afternoon class in cameraless 16mm filmmaking.

Using 16mm
sound recording film, flashlights and found objects participants will produce a
short collaborative film in one session.” The class will work under red
lights using feathers, lace, hardware and any other found objects brought by
participants to create rayograms / photograms. After processing, these short
lengths of film will be spliced together and projected as a finished 16mm film
with sound. Additionally, LIFT will give a presentation about the various films
stocks, equipment and services the organization has available to the public
year-round.

The class
is completely free and open to the public and will be instructed by LIFT’s
Executive Director Ben Donoghue and former Education Coordinator Coral Aiken.
